the 6th installment in Serial Space’s Great Debate Series aims for the jugular in the ongoing discussion in our communities about property rights, commercialization, corporatism, gentrification, art and increasing inequity:

TOPIC: THAT PROPERTY IS THEFT

Serial Space’s Great Debate Series has hosted some of Sydney’s most impassioned and articulate thinkers, arguing and discussing political, personal, private and popular topics: this debate will be no exception. Our speakers are:

AFFIRMATIVE
Dr Catriona Menzies Pike
Dr Bec Conroy
Mark Gawne

NEGATIVE
Dr Ann Deslandes
Dr Adam Jasper
Pip Smith

HOST
Dara Gill

Real Estate agents in Sydney are like celebrities, driving in fancy cars and driving up the cost of living. Increasingly the artistic community is feeling priced-out of the city. But, on the flip side, we work hard for a living, we need to be able to manage and organise our society and the concept of property is one way to do that. Can we potentially change it from within? Why not buy a family home and make it into a polyamorous commune? Or buy a forest and donate it back to Nature? Or design an amazing computer program that enables your Hacker-ARI to compete with Apple for global supremacy and sell it to all your friends to start the viral trend? Then again, maybe we all just want a big house and a flashy car and our banging on about inequity and gentrification is just a manifestation of jealousy for our best mates who chose finance instead of fine arts.

This debate will get the emotions fired up as a bunch of confident and savvy individuals with a trumped up sense of entitlement get serious about what they can actually claim to have and to hold as their own. And just in time for Christmas!

Get yourself down to Spectrum this Friday for a night of some of Sydney’s Best indy music presented by A Story Never Told.

LYYAR will be headlining the night, and with their recent Debut Ep ‘Outside Elsewhere’ released through Speak and Spell, the guys are going to get those heads moving and the feet a tapping. Lyyar are a must see.

With the recent success of the 3 piece Sydney girl outfit BLOODS, it was a given that they would be an essential part of the night. With their fun pop punk attitude and tunes the girls are sure to get the party set into the right mood.

KANG GANG are one of the newest bands to have hit up the live scene in Sydney, with their elusive and distinctive take on Surf Rock the guys are not to be missed.

To open the show will be rockers NARROW LANDS. This will be like a wall of noise hitting you in the face.
