Today, when it seems like everything has been privatised and the idea of moral values has been commandeered by the right, how can we re-imagine the forces of community, solidarity and ecology?

In his compelling new book ‘Crises of Imagination, Crises of Power’, Max Haiven argues that capitalism has taken over our most intimate personal interactions, imagination and notions of value. Looking at the decline of the public sphere, the corporatization of education and the privatization of creativity, he provides a powerful and accessible argument for how to create an alternative anti-capitalist commons.

Join Max to explore how we can re-claim our collective imagination and break out of the current neo-liberal malaise.

Max will be in discussion with Nina Power, senior lecturer in philosophy at Roehampton University and author of One-Dimensional Woman.

OTO PROJECT SPACE

The OTO Project Space is located just around the corner from Cafe OTO at 1-7 Ashwin Street - E8 3DL.

It was created as a space for artists to develop new work and for OTO Projects to present workshops, talks, film screenings and installations relating to the core programme at Cafe OTO. The building was designed by Assemble - a young, critically acclaimed design practice based in London - and built by a team of more than 30 volunteers.
