Event archive: AptArt Around the World: Celebrating the David Graeber Institute

from 28. October 2022 to 29. October 2022
The David Graeber Institute started its work in March of this year as a non-profit organization overseeing an extensive Archive of unpublished written and multimedia texts and continues David’s legacy and provides access to research and public discourse projects – some of which were started during his lifetime, and others related to themes and ideas that were important to him such as labor, debt, war and climate change.
At this year’s annual celebration of David Graeber’s life, we welcome you all to join the collective virtual launch of the David Graeber Institute with a series of apartment exhibitions (AptArt)  around the world facilitated by the Museum of Care, followed in January by an in-person launch in London and New York to mark the publication of his latest book, Pirate Enlightenment. 
To tie in with the Brain Trust project and our residency program, our first exhibition is dedicated to the work of our friends and partners at the Institute, art activist groups like Extinction Rebellion and Ocean Rebellion with their connection to David’s work on Pirates and the XR Brain Trust. We have put together a collection of artwork available to download and print as well as a  limited edition original artwork designed especially for this event which will be mailed out to you if you sign up early.

Event archive: Bristol Pay conference: Way Out Economics

from 4. October 2022 to 4. October 2022, Bristol

The event is hybrid, with the IRL option in St Anne’s House, Bristol.

We’re also going to make sure that people who can’t take part live can both deliver recorded ‘provocations’ and see the other provocations online after the event.

If you want to participate, whether IRL, online or via video recordings, you need to register here: https://www.trybooking.com/uk/events/landing?embed&eid=31372.

Once you’ve registered, you’ll get an email asking you to fill in a profile which we’ll be using to curate the content of the day.

This is very much a bottom up event – the content is driven by the participants, so filling in the profile survey is vital.

 

There are free as well as paid for registration options. However, we need this event to break even, so please, if you can afford a ticket, do actually buy one. And if you’re feeling flush, please buy a solidarity ticket that will cover the cost of someone who would be unable to come unless they could come for free. Thanks!

Who stands to benefit from a cashless society? What are the risks of the ongoing merger of big finance and big tech? Is a cashless future inevitable? Finance Watch invites you to discuss the digitalisation of money with Brett Scott, author of the book Cloud-money: Cash, Cards, Crypto and the War for our Wallets.

Kate Raworth, author of Doughnut Economics says, it’s “a brilliant, fascinating and utterly accessible book… If you want to understand what money is – and what it is in danger of becoming – start right here.”

This lunch hour event will feature a presentation of the book’s key messages and give attendees the opportunity to ask questions during the follow-up discussion.
