Dear all

I hope you are well.

I wanted to share info about our new Future Focus series, an online programme 
of critical conversations and exchange, launched during the pandemic, with the 
aim to explore ideas for a kinder, more considerate world, but also a space for 
inspiration, support and critical discourse at challenging times.

Our new series, Money and Environment, will be exploring how finance impacts on 
the environment and how it could be potentially reimagined to contribute to the 
environmental and social agenda.

The first session, taking place on Wednesday 2nd December, 5-6pm GMT, is 
bringing together a great group of speakers including artist, activist and 
feminist economist Cassie Thornton<http://feministeconomicsdepartment.com/>, 
artist, researcher, Furtherfield co-Founder and Artistic Director Ruth 
Catlow<https://www.furtherfield.org/about-us/team/ruth-catlow/>, Assistant 
Professor of Literature at University of California Santa Cruz Zac 
Zimmer<https://humanities.ucsc.edu/academics/faculty/index.php?uid=zaazimme>, 
and Economic Historian and Professor of Early Modern History at University of 
Manchester Philipp Robinson 
Rössner<https://www.research.manchester.ac.uk/portal/philipp.roessner.html>.

The session will explore money production and environmental impact – from the 
production of silver coins, human labour, colonial mining and extraction of 
natural resources to the implications of energy consumption in producing crypto 
currencies – but also the role of art, activism and alternative narratives.


The event is free to attend, but booking is required:
