What if the way ADHD brains work isn't a deficit, but exactly what our distracted world needs to learn?
Join acclaimed writer Amber Medland as she presents her groundbreaking book Attention Seeker: The Truth about ADHD, the first definitive text by a writer with ADHD that reclaims the narrative and asks what neurotypical society can learn from the way ADHD minds think, feel, and love.
In conversation with Kat Brown, the evening will be structured around three themes—Self, Society, and the Attention Economy, as the two discuss diagnosis, education, and the gendered experience of ADHD. Amber will use ADHD as a cultural X-ray, exploring symptoms as diagnostic tools for late-capitalist burnout and exposing cracks in work, school, prisons, and tech.
Join us for an evening that challenges everything you think you know about attention, productivity, and what constitutes a "normal" brain. The conversation will explore how ADHD thinking can offer solutions to our current cultural crises, why friction might be exactly what our frictionless world needs, and what an anti-capitalist approach to neurodiversity might look like.

The ‘stream and book’ package includes a unique ticket for the stream, and a copy of Attention Seeker (RRP £16.99) deliverable to any UK or international address.
The event will initially be broadcast on 27 August at 6.30pm UK time. It will be available to view up to two weeks after the event has ended and can be accessed Worldwide. If you live in a time zone that does not suit the initial broadcast time you can watch it at any point after the initial showing for two weeks.
