Bartalk #25 – Control
Hosted by: BARTALK
BARTALK is a multidisciplinary lecture/performance/storytelling series that takes place in different bars in The Hague. Each BARTALK public event is themed and consists of four 15 minute presentations by guests from different backgrounds.
You are cordially invited to BARTALK#25: Control, in which BARTALK returns to their usual format of in-person events and reunites with you in real life.
“Losing control is a common human fear and experience. This event dives into the fear and pleasure of control: of the masses, of individuals, of one’s body. In the process of training machines, who is really controlling who? How is our body scripted and shaped by political ideologies? How does the control of emotions affect the economic market? And how much of the ‘natural world’ is actually untouched by human influence?”
