    Art, Activism & the Absurdities of Economic Growth

    Harrison’s first TEDx talk gives an overview of her work in the decade that followed the global financial crisis of 2008. She examines the inherent contradiction between the continual and infinite ‘growth’ demanded by capitalism and the ‘sustainability’ necessary to prevent climate change, and explains how some serious analysis of her own lifestyle within our globalised economic system, led her to make some extreme decisions.
