Bleu Shut reveals, and allows us to enjoy, our gullibility within the pervasive absurdity of modern life.
Ian and Gil will host a discussion on the Argument project’s social and political commentaries, and with you try and maybe think through whether and how they might still have some currency today: what’s changed and what’s stayed the same?
