Marisa Holmes: The World We Want: The Radical Imagination of Occupy Wall Street
Room: Art & Music, 3rd Floor
In the darkest of moments, we must dare to dream. Now, we are living through the death of neoliberalism, and the rising threat of fascism. An alternative is vital for our own survival. How can we, the 99%, act now, in the present? What world do we want? Let us stop thinking of the world as it is, and imagine what it could be.
