Episode III: Enjoy Poverty (CTBA)

Lapdogs of the Bourgeoisie Film & Events Programme

To accompany the exhibition Lapdogs of the Bourgeoisie there is a series of events, talks, tours and film screenings during May & July.

Each film screening will be preceded by two commissioned trailers: The Freedom of Negative Expression by Chris Evans and Lapdogs by Neil Cummings.

Provocative and essential, artist Renzo Martens' film, made during a period spent in the Congo, meditates on the role of the camera in places of severe poverty and unrest, utilising - and transgressing on - conventions of the documentary genre, performance and satire to raise complex questions around today's media image economy, the 'poverty industry' and the role of NGOs and humanitarian organisations.
