TalkPOPc's (Philosophers' Ontological Party club) October Conversation Event: Power

The goal of these monthly meetings is to ignite conversations around talkPOPc’s topics and reignite conversations that were started at previous talkPOPc happenings (which are posted on our podcast). This conversation event will be on the current topic “Power” and will be run by Resident Philosophers Tyler Olds and Dena Shottenkirk (CUNY Brooklyn College) at Liz’s Book Bar (315 Smith Street Brooklyn, NY 11231), October 26th 7:00pm-8:00pm.

This will be a group discussion, unlike the one-to-one conversations held in our tent.  There will be a selection of works surrounding the topic “Power” incorporated into the event.

Prompted by talkPOPc founder Dena Shottenkirk’s painting We, the Strong Ones (2024)—inspired in part by her work at the Metropolitan Detention Center—we will discuss Power, Freedom of Speech, and Domination.
