Acceleration has been characterised as both reason & remedy for the challenges presented by an increasingly fraught global economy–by financial crises, ecological ruination, neo-colonial oppression & forced displacements of an unprecedented scale.
The contemporary political and cultural imagination is caught between conflicting velocities: the accelerationist affirmation of technological transformation on the one hand, & decelerative or restorative movements on the other.
The conference Speeding & Braking: Navigating Acceleration gathers critical responses to this conceptual deadlock that reach across & beyond such entrenched (op)positions.
Attendance to conference, exhibition & performances is free:
