Sated: Order and Disorder

"Sated" is a programme of four panel discussions curated by a/political in collaboration with the Goldsmiths Visual Cultures Society at Goldsmiths, University of London. "Sated" examines the deteriorating effect of the rhetoric of success and the smugness that comes with it; characteristic for the current profit-driven economy, on a critical assessment of social reality. The third event from the series features a special screening of 'ORDER' (2018), an anti-capitalist operatic-film by the collective Democracia; followed by a Q&A with the artists.

ORDER is a three-part operatic film that seeks to radically critique the conventions and injustices of capitalism and its global hegemony, through carefully engineered interventions in public and private spaces. Filmed between Houston, Dublin, and London, ORDER moves between out-of-town shopping malls, open-carry demonstrations, and lavish dinners, to present the historic antagonisms of the oppressors and the oppressed.
