Booking essential Tickets £5, all welcome As part of Bahar Noorizadeh’s interrelated projects – The Debtor’s Portal exhibition and her mural commission In Mortua Manu / In A Dead Hand – The Showroom will host a panel discussion bringing together artistic, academic and philosophical perspectives on the systems at play between the debt regime and speculative imagination. Acting as a live meditation of Noorizadeh’s research, the conversation will examine gamification as a mechanism of control, information as an urban medium, sacrifice as the social form of finance, and conspiracy as a mode of navigating this terrain. Convened by The Otolith Collective, the panel includes artist Bahar Noorizadeh and others to be announced shortly. About the speakers Bahar Noorizadeh, born in 1988 in Iran, examines the relationship between art and capitalism and their entangled moral, social and organisational technologies. In her practice as an artist, theorist and filmmaker, she investigates the histories and the futures of economics, from ancient monetary systems to cybernetic socialism and neoliberal finance, and the techno-fictions underpinning geopolitical relations and logistical infrastructures. Noorizadeh is the founder and organiser of Weird Economies, a multi-authored platform dedicated to radical economic imaginaries. Her work has appeared at the Guggenheim Museum NYC (2024), Taipei Biennial (2023), Venice Architecture Biennial (2021), Transmediale Festival (2020, 2022), Tate Modern Ar
