Unlocking Adorno & Horkheimer's Dialectic of Enlightenment at the River Sava

Rena talks about the meaning of the individual in relation to the culture industry today, social media, AI and deterministic digital surroundings. Her talk at the River Sava is accompanied by two drawing sessions which aim to support her understanding of the concepts of Adorno and Horkheimer and to translate them into today's visual context. The Acid Left, founded by Adam Ray Adkins and Mike Watson, aims to foster an awareness of social class and emancipatory politics through online and real life events and happenings. Each Beyond Linguistics Reading Group session combines textual analysis with artworks, videos or memes made in response to the texts analysed.
