Has neoliberal capitalism locked down social experience? Are our seemingly subjective desires, our identities, pre-packaged by dominating social structures?
Underground movement legend boychild hosts this workshop—on improvisation, cosmetics, movement and lip-sync.
A chat with Eugene Thacker. Can we rethink the world as unthinkable, and without us?
