Tendered Philanthropy?

Artists

Carolyn Whittaker

Performed to the echo of a funeral march and executioner's drum beat, two characters are contractually bound and staging a ritualistic act. This performance Tendered Philanthropy? by artist Carolyn Whittaker evokes the drama and tragedy of Dicken's novel Hard Times, exploring themes of societal disparity around survival, altruistic narcissism, exploitation and redemption.

This performance is part of the HARD TIMES exhibition public programme.
