  • Utopia or Dystopia? Raqs Media Collective: Ways of Telling Stories About the Future.
    Jul 25 2023

    Sea Change artists Raqs Media Collective talk with Caroline Edwards on utopia and dystopia in connection to their wider ideas and commission ‘The Waves are Rising.’ The moving image work merges live footage of Royal Dock’s still waters superimposed with animated representations of stimulated waves and maritime detritus. The artists will discuss the sea and Dockland’s history as a complex site of exploration and exploitation drawing together themes of global trade, extreme weather and climate change.

  • Economics as a Form of Storytelling: Aaron Bastani, Mark Maslin, Julie Freeman.
    Jul 18 2023

    From the invention of the Gutenberg press in the 15th century to mechanised looms in the 18th century, changes to labour markets, engendered by new technologies, are often accompanied by moral panic. These historical concerns are mirrored now: emerging AI and automation will have a wide-ranging impact on the place of work. At a time when we have inflation and a cost of living crisis, economic uncertainty impacting labour markets, coupled with the need for green jobs and industry, where does our future lie? Which are the economic narratives that we are listening to and which are we not?
