In this episode, Owen Hatherley, the author of numerous books including “Militant Modernism” and “Ministry of Nostalgia,” and culture editor of The Tribune magazine, talks about the municipal socialist roots that built London's multiculturalism, the various innovative experiments of London’s municipal authorities, and how all this can inspire its residents to deal with their growing problems in action.

What is The Archipelago?

A 60-minute talk show featuring theorists, artists and writers contemplating on the cultural moment. The Archipelago follows ideas that erupt from the abyss of human activity, diverse and divergent at first, before congealing into a new pensive framework. A podcast series as an archive of differing viewpoints, blending together into an imaginary production of the future.
