Join artist and activist Cassie Thornton for a workshop on small acts of disobedience you can add to and reproduce in your own lives.

Cassie Thornton of The Feminist Economics Department (The FED) will show a few projects that she has worked on that helped her to find a sense of power and agency in a world that feels like it wants to eat her for dinner. Participants will leave the workshop with a list of small acts of disobedience that they can add to and reproduce in their own lives the next time they suffer from our collective symptoms of insecurity, anxiety, powerlessness or rage.

Cassie Thornton is an artist and activist who makes a “safe space” for the unknown, for disobedience, and for unanticipated collectivity. She uses social practices including institutional critique, insurgent architecture, and “healing modalities” like hypnosis and yoga to find soft spots in the hard surfaces of capitalist life. Cassie has invented a grassroots alternative credit reporting service for the survivors of gentrification, has hypnotized hedge fund managers, has finger-painted with the grime found inside banks, has donated cursed paintings to profiteering bankers, and has taught feminist economics to yogis (and vice versa). Her new book, The Hologram: Feminist, Peer-to-Peer Health for a Post-Pandemic Future, is available from Pluto Press.
