Tickets are available here. The event is taking place alongside the exhibition Genuine Fake Premium Economy, which brings together three new commissioned works by Jenna Bliss, Buck Ellison & Jasmine Gregory.
More info on the event below:
Writer Em Colquhoun, artists Hilary Powell and Daniel Edelstyn, and economist Ann Pettifor come together to discuss their various work on inequality.
Each speaker will present an area of their work relating to how we have been living with a broken economy, and how this era of rising inequality has laid bare myths of fairness, progress and meritocracy. Em Colquhoun will speak on Mark Fisher’s work, in particular Capitalist Realism and Postcapitalist Desire: The Final Lectures. Hilary Powell and Daniel Edelstyn will discuss Bank Job, a community art project and resulting documentary in which the artists bought up more than £1 million of debt owed by people in Walthamstow. Ann Pettifor will present on her new book The Global Casino: How Wall Street Gambles with People and the Planet.
This will be followed by a discussion and opportunity for questions from the audience.
