111/ IFC2023: ERICA CHENOWETH
EPISODE 111
Kenneth and James flashed their access all areas passes to sneak backstage at IFC. They managed to grab a seat in the Press Room for a conversation between two big-hitters, Bill Toliver and Erica Chenoweth before the latter takes to the big stage for her plenary speech.
They dive straight in talking people power; revolution; divide and rule; and power relations between our opponents. Erica describes the power of hope and the critical mass for societal change as well as describing their work writing a Phd in violent conflict. There’s the power and dangers of digital in movements and surveillance, the ice bucket challenge and the most beautiful mullets of 1983 before Kenneth made a pitch for ‘smartest person in the room’ by braving a question at the end (a valiant but doomed effort).
