Abstract
The third talk in the Spaces of Contestation series, “What Is Already Going On” features the Vancouver and Vienna based cultural research collective Urban Subjects. Picking up from Jamie Peck’s previous talk in the series–on processes of urban neoliberalization and the inversion of creativity–Urban Subjects will discuss cultural possibilities and artistic tactics for our unsteady, contradictory, and unevenly developed present.
