We Are The Market! - Freek Lomme - Bog

The center of the city is the place for meeting and consumption. It is where everyone goes, it's where our culture is consumed and lived. However, the offering there is limited, and not a lot is allowed. It's not everybody's space, but the space of the majority. Yet even for that majority, there is no free choice, so it is also place for the silent majority. Meanwhile, every human being wants an inclusive culture, with free offering and free access. Although our culture turns out not to be free, but forced. With this project we ask what could be on offer, and what perhaps ought to be? Many free-thinkers such as designers, philosophers, journalists, artists and others take space to explore this. In short: WE ARE THE MARKET! calls out to freedom in the capitalist commons, within the cultural production of the high street.
