The mICROPOLITICS Research Group is a London based collective concerned with the forces and procedures that entangle artistic production and the flexible subjectivities of its producers into the fabric of content capitalism.

An extradisciplinary drift with Brian Holmes

Saturday March 15^th (TBC)

 

Theorist Brian Holmes and content workers based in London will tell stories and share strategies while strolling to some of the city?s most significant sites of cultural production.

Our point of departure is Brian's assertion that:

..."cultural producers, today, are humiliated by the conditions under which we work".
