Yodet Gherez (Conceptual Artist and host of the Circled A) does a reading from;
Could we survive without a world of ‘State Trade secrets’ ‘classified documents’ and ‘defending the National Interest’? And could we survive with no Pharo’s, Kings and Queens, Ceaser’s, Presidents, Pope’s, Ceo’s and alike? Instead placing our time and energy in ways that positively contribute to the culture and society at large, as well as improving our own one to one interactions in our personal lives. All the whilst honouring individual pursuit to foster the conditions that create value in happiness. To question if we really want to continue to chase after that dangling carrot presented in front of us. Why not set our own agendas instead of getting lost in false status based hiearchy?
