Imagine the world anew, together.

Free admission

 

Through a sequence of intensifying crises, capitalism has already morphed into a dystopian postmodern, hi-tech version of feudalism. Postcapitalism is, thus, already here.

Through art and research, argument and poetry, mέta, the Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation, works to break with a dystopic present to imagine the world anew – to grasp our present historical moment so as to help radical progressive movements find a path from the emergent dismal postcapitalism to one worth fighting, and living, for.

 

The Centre for Postcapitalist Civilisation (mέta) introduces itself to the public and the media, presenting its aims, its activities and its people from Greece and abroad, in a hybrid event with artistic performances, which will be live-streamed on Thursday 13 May at 8pm Athens time (UTC +3). The launching event, produced by mέta’s team and directed by Vassilis Koundouris and Violet Louise of Studio19st, as well as the performances directed by Dimitris Zografakis and the introductory animation by Yokanima (Yorgos Karagiorgos), will be live-streamed at mέta’s YouTube channel (bit.ly/metacpcvideos) and at facebook.com/meta.cpc.
