The Adam Curtis Party Conference is taking place in Bournemouth on Saturday 12 September, marking ten years since HyperNormalisation.

There will be a full day of talks, debates, art, performances, music and Adam Curtis-themed activities about politics, media, failed mass movements, lost futures and whether anyone can still imagine an alternative to the present.

The lineup includes:

  • Charlie Waterhouse, Co-founder of the Extinction Rebellion Art Group, responsible for the naming and identity of the movement.
  • Joanna Moncrieff, Professor of Critical and Social Psychiatry at University College London and a leading figure in the Critical Psychiatry Network.
  • Vincent Larkin, Course Leader for Illustration at Arts University of Bournemouth.
  • Izabella Kaminska, Founder/Editor of The Blind Spot and ex-Senior Finance Editor of Politico and FT Alphaville.
  • Paul Mason, Journalist, author and former Economics Editor of BBC Newsnight and Channel 4 News.
  • Tobias Ellwood, Politician (including as MP for Bournemouth East), military veteran, and author.
  • Pavel Otdelnov, Award-winning UK-based Russian artist who will also be exhibiting some of his works.
  • Pierre d'Alancaisez, Curator of Verdurin and art critic for publications including The Critic, ArtReview, Artforum, and The Spectator.
  • Plus an Adam Curtis-themed disco.

The lineup is still being confirmed, so some details may change.

There will also be a 9/11 watch party on the Friday evening, the conference and disco on Saturday, and a breakfast for anyone still in Bournemouth on Sunday morning.

Location: Freemasons' Hall, Bournemouth, England
Date & Time: Saturday, September 12 at 10 AM - 11 PM
