* From Athens, Greece: "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".

Contextual Quote

"To defeat barbarism, rather than to give it a new spin, mέta acknowledges the dual role of both theory and art: emancipatory and oppressive. Culture and analysis can liberate just as powerfully as they can support new tyrannies. Luxembourg’s and Benjamin’s invocations shall therefore remain central to mέta work as we break with the dystopic present and imagine the world anew.

Through art and research, argument and poetry, mέta will strive to help progressive movements break with a dismal present to imagine the world anew – to grasp our present historical moment so as to pave the way to a world worth fighting, and living, for."

Description

"We are already in the early stages of an era that can only be described by that which it succeeds: we live in postcapitalist times. They may turn out dystopic, utopic or anything in between. Through art and research, argument and poetry, mέta (the abbreviation of our 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."
