Spring 2025 Workshop Reading
When we say fuck debt, we of course mean fuck interest and the financial practice of profiting from the act of meeting a need, which most American institutions depend on—banks, insurance companies, universities, to name just a few. But we also mean there’s no fucking without debt (another word for need, dependency, risk).
In this outdoor event, the artists and writers Johanna Hedva and Jordan Lord will think together about the entanglements of sex with money, social life, disability, eating out, friendship, inheritance, the past, prophecy, where and when we live, and how we’ll die. Hedva and Lord will share their work, talk about writing, movies, and work they haven’t made yet, all of which is largely because of debt, in many senses.
