<p>In this episode, we speak with Rasheedah Phillips about her
groundbreaking book Dismantling the <i>Master’s Clock: On Race,
Space, and Time</i>. Drawing from Black Quantum Futurism,
Phillips challenges dominant, Western notions of time – showing
how they have been shaped by colonialism, capitalism, and racial
oppression. Why does time seem to move only forward? Why are
certain experiences – like aging or birth – treated as
irreversible, even though physics suggests otherwise? Phillips
explores how Black and Afrodiasporic communities have imagined and
practiced alternative conceptions of time, where past, present,
and future are interwoven rather than linear.<br>
<br>

<p>Event with Marc Garrett about his forthcoming book <i>Feral
Class</i><br>
<br>
Untamed. Unheard. Unstoppable. Feral Class is Marc Garrett’s raw
and resonant memoir of surviving – and creating – on the margins.
This event delves into the lived realities of working-class
artists, charting Garrett’s journey from the edges of cultural
production to the heart of radical practice. Through vivid
storytelling, biting critique, and moments of dark humour, Garrett
reflects on what it means to grow up outside the safety nets of
art institutions, forging a path through DIY networks, political
resistance, and feral creativity.<br>
<br>
What does it mean to live as part of the “feral class” – those who
exist beyond the permission of gatekeepers, who make art not to be
accepted but to disrupt? Join us for an exploration of class
struggle, artistic survival, and the wild potential of lives lived
in defiance of cultural elitism. This is not just a memoir – it’s
a call to arms for those who create from below, with dirt under
their nails and fire in their bellies.<br>
<br>
<b>Bio:</b> Marc Garrett’s life and work embody the intersection
of art, technology, and social change, shaped by his working-class
upbringing and a commitment to challenging institutional
hierarchies. Growing up in Southend-On-Sea, he explored creative
expression through street art, pirate radio, and early online
activism before co-founding Furtherfield in 1996 with Ruth Catlow,
an artist-led community resisting the commercialisation of the art
world. Despite personal challenges, including a cancer diagnosis
in 2022, Garrett continues to focus on ideas and questions that
acknowledge and engage working-class and feral-class contexts as a
springboard for more extensive dialogues on creating conditions
for social change across art, technology, and ecology.<br>
