CELEBRATING THE OPENING OF 23–24 SEASON OF MUSEUM OF CARE AND DGI
PIRATE CARNIVAL
The David Graeber Institute and the Museum of Care cordially invite you to the opening of a new season, including an exhibition, film screening, workshop, carnival, and party. Join us on September 16, 2023, for co-creation, caring for each other, a movie, food sharing, and more.
The carnival and workshop will take place in the iconic Rowley Way Estate community, which will be celebrating 30 years of architectural landmark status.
The Museum of Care and the David Graeber Institute need to hold events not within a cultural, business or academic institution but in a community designed to realize a collective life of people from different social, cultural, and national backgrounds.
We will start our annual Carnival4David with a collective costume, flag, and mask-making workshop following the publication of David Graeber’s latest book, Pirate Enlightenment.
DGI CINEMA LAUNCH
DGI Cinema is a project dedicated to public science fiction and pirate-related movie screenings. On September 16, we will open DGI Cinema with one of David Graeber’s favorite films, a 2005 space western called “Serenity.” “Serenity” is a continuation of the television series “Firefly.” The story is set in the 26th century and follows the crew of the spaceship Serenity as they navigate a renegade lifestyle.
The event will feature talks by science-fiction writers. The first 50 seats will be available on a first-come-first-served basis.
BRAIN TRUST
On 28 September we will finish our first month of the season with the first event in the Brain Trust Lectures series. We will host a lecture by the engineer and mathematician, inventor of the open source 3D printer that became the basis for most of the 3D printers in the world today – Adrian Bowyer.
“We will not take the means of production away from the bourgeoisie to give them to the proletariat, but we will create means of production accessible to anyone.“
Bowyer successfully created a working tool for the existence of “everyday communism” – the concept developed by David Graeber.
Join us for the open lecture at Rowley Way community hall or on Zoom.
READING GROUPS
Following up on our reading group from last year, “Debt: The First 5,000 Years”we will continue with a series of talks and a new reading group.
On 7 September we will kick off the new reading group THE ORIGINS OF MODERN DEBT POLITICS IN GREECE AND ROME – READING MICHAEL HUDSON’S “THE COLLAPSE OF ANTIQUITY”
The Museum of Care will purchase an electronic version of THE COLLAPSE OF ANTIQUITY for the first 10 registered participants.
