terms & conditions is a project comprising of a series of events devised by Iniva (Institute of International Visual Arts) in collaboration with artist Margareta Kern, at Rivington Place. The events, ranging from talks and discussions to workshops and walking tours, explore the impact of neoliberal capitalism on migration and labour with a focus on the social and economic injustices.
Kern is joined by contributors from diverse fields including artists, academics and activists in an open forum for debate and learning. Themes include: who are migrant workers today?; current crises and the rise of xenophobia; a history of anti-fascism in Britain; immigration and protest, and the displacement of women and work. This series continues and develops Kern’s interest in the relationship of economy and migration, knowledge and action, art and activism.
terms & conditions is inspired by Iniva’s three year project At the Intersection: Art & Economies, as well as responding to the upcoming exhibition at Rivington Place, Entanglement: the Ambivalence of Identity.
