Cultural Workers on the Brink:
An extradisciplinary drift with Brian Holmes
Saturday March 15th (TBC)
Theorist Brian Holmes and content workers based in London will tell stories
and share strategies while strolling to some of the citys 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".

[EMAIL PROTECTED] by February 28th.
Organisers: Kerstin Forkert, Janna Graham, Valeria Graziano, Susan Kelly and
