Performing Alternative Economic Models

Ralph Hall and Steven T. Licardi

Time: 9:00 – 11:00 a.m.
Location: Squires 134 and Zoom

For many, our current economic models no longer meet our basic human needs. Over the past two years, performance artist Steven T. Licardi and SPIA faculty member Ralph Hall have been exploring ways to advance new economic thinking – related to Community Wealth Building – through a SciArts project. Through this collaboration, they arrived at “Ping-pong-omics” and performance art as an engaging way to reveal economic inequality and challenge participants to imagine, explore, and develop alternative economic models.
