"To Have and To Owe" Event Series
EFA Project Space
This event has ended.
"To Have and To Owe," is a research platform and event series for thinking about debt, organized by Leigh Claire La Berge and Laurel Ptak. Focused on the social relations that debt engenders, To Have and To Owe has invited a range of artists and theorists to offer lectures, workshops, reading groups, performances, screenings, and more, exploring the subject of debt and opening up a space in which its aesthetic and social dimensions may be considered as part of its economic register. Through live events, cultural production, and online publication, "To Have and to Owe" seeks to widen discussion on topics including: debt as discipline, money as social medium, re-distributions of wealth, banking crises, debt peonage, credit worthiness, collectivizing debt, philanthropy as debt in reverse, and debtor strikes, among numerous other subjects.
Over the five weeks EFA Project Space will function as a meeting site and accumulative bulletin board where participants and audience members are welcome to post and distribute diverse visual and textual materials around the subject of debt.
