Enough: The Architecture of Degrowth (Oslo Architecture Triennale)
15 Sep – 24 Nov
Oslo
This triennale proposes that growth is not a viable aim for Earth, coming hand-inhand with eco destruction and social inequality. The event uses the affective power of narrative, with sci-fi writers and live-action role-players alongside architects and economists.

The last time the various elements of Jarman’s work were together was at the Barbican in 1996, so this retrospective is overdue. Protest! will consider his influence on 20th century Britain through his paintings, writing, set-design and activism.
