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?

Can we use sound, repetition and difference to personally and collectively engage with space, time and labour?
