Interdependence: We Need to Talk – Manchester International Festival (MIF) – Debates & performances

Interdependence: We Need to Talk

Provocative conversation and new ideas

The world has never been more connected – nor more divided. The old world order is being challenged by a new populism, with fear and mistrust on both sides. And yet such uncertainty and upheaval can inspire original thinking, as genuine engagement with opposing arguments breaks down barriers, reveals our shared humanity and gives rise to bold new ideas.

Curated by MIF, FutureEverything, The Guardian and VICE, Interdependence: We Need to Talk invites you to consider and debate today’s hot-button topics: power, heroes, technology, community, truth and change. Over six sessions, we’ll be bringing together a wide range of leading artists, architects, activists, politicians, writers and thinkers, and inviting you to join them as they explore each issue through conversations, discussions, performances and special artist interventions.

Guests include:

  • Power Sat 1 July, 10.30am
    Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, Lubaina Himid, Bad Language and more
  • Heroes Sat 1 July, 2pm
    Phil Collins, Astrid Proll, Yael Bartana and more
