+++ THE ASSAULT ON CULTURE II +++ Dows bar (upstairs) 3-5pm Saturday 15th November Dundas St. Glasgow G1 2AH - adjacent Queen St. Station
Panel DISCUSSION with: Rebecca Gordon Nesbitt, Jaron Rowan, Anthony Davies, Marina Vishmidt, Leigh French, Daniel Jewesbury
Does private-public funding and management of culture mark the death of institutional and critical autonomy? Is direct censorship an anomaly, the most visible form of a wider constriction of cultural freedom, or the shape of cultural policy to come?
Following on from the Mute-organised discussion, Variant continue the exploration of the perils and opportunities for critical cultural activity in neoliberalising institutions.
followed by 5.30pm SCREENING of:
CAN DIALECTICS BREAK BRICKS?
René Viénet’s outrageously refashioned kung fu flick. A brilliant, acerbic and riotous critique of the failure of socialism where martial artists counter ideological blows with theoretical thrusts.
