In a London exclusive event, the Southbank Centre in collaboration with Penguin Press presents Bernie Sanders: It’s OK To Be Angry About Capitalism, which will see Senator Bernie Sanders in conversation about his highly anticipated new book of the same name. The event on Thursday 23 February 2023 is part of the 2023 Spring Literature Season at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall.
In the book Bernie Sanders takes on the 1% of the richest people in the world and speaks blunt truths about a system that is fuelled by uncontrolled greed, and rigged against ordinary people. He asks ‘How can we accept an economic order that allows three billionaires to control more wealth than the bottom half of our society? ‘How can we accept a political system that allows the super-rich to buy elections and politicians? ‘How can we accept an energy system that rewards the fossil fuel corporations causing the climate crisis? Bernie Sanders states ‘We must demand fundamental economic and political change. This is where the path forward begins.’
It's OK To Be Angry About Capitalism presents a vision of what would be possible if a political revolution took place, if we would finally recognise that economic rights are human rights, and work to create a society that provides them. Date: Thursday 23 February, 8pm. Location: Royal Festival Hall, Southbank Centre, Belvedere Road, London SE1 8XX. Price: Starting from £15 - £52
The event is part of the Southbank Centre’s 2023 Spring Literature Season which includes a stellar lineup of authors, activists, poets and politicians including Bret Easton Ellis, Han Kang and Leïla Slimani.

Frieze week brought more than Frieze itself to London this October. A run of new art fairs debuted across the city, each with its own model, its own price bracket and its own idea of who it was for. Minor Attractions also returned for a fourth edition, this time in a new venue. We asked Darren of London Art Roundup to provide a short synopsis of each
