Lapdogs of the Bourgeoisie 2026:
Class Hegemony in
Contemporary Art
Over a period of nearly five years, Lapdogs of the Bourgeoisie interrogated how class structures shape the production, presentation, and reception of contemporary art. 20 years on, we return to these questions and ask why class continues to be so easily overlooked in the production and presentation of art. ↗

Rather than a conventional book presentation, the event will use Marco Baravalle’s recent publication, The Battleground of Art: Radical Curating in the Crisis of Neoliberalism, (Verso Books, 2026) as a starting point for a broader conversation about radical curating, counter-institutions, commoning and the political possibilities of cultural work.
Open Call: Join the
Complaints Choir
The Complaints Choir is a DIY, community-based art project in which singers and non-singers alike come together to sing about the things that are on their minds. Led by musician Azubike Onwuka, we share our complaints, frustrations and the things that don’t feel right, but also what gives us hope or what we’d like to see changed.
