Not so long ago, an event like ALTEREGOISM — organised by the everyone is a girl collective (https://everyoneisagirl.substack.com/) and drawing on thinkers such as #timothymorton #markfisher Sherry Turkle, #GillesDeleuze and #GuyDebord — would have taken the form of a cultural theory or cultural studies seminar. You’d have most likely found it in a university setting or arts venue such as the ICA.
But ALTEREGOISM didn’t happen in an established, formal institution. It took place in a packed room above a vintage clothes shop called Bread & Butter in Shoreditch (of course it had to be East London!).
It didn’t just involve theory — it brought together art, music, fashion, new media and performance. And it wasn’t just academics either but also artists, designers, curators, DJs, writers, publishers...
