FPO TALKS 2023 - Dr Rowan Lubbock: Fields and Frontiers: Agriculture and the Making of International (Dis)Order

The Future Potentials Observatory invites you to a Speaker Series event titled “FPO TALKS” presented by Dr Rowan Lubbock, Lecturer in International Political Economy of Development at Queen Mary University, London.

His previous research examined the politics of food sovereignty within Venezuela and the Latin American regional institution, the ALBA-TCP (Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-Peoples Trade Treaty), as well as the historical sociology of Latin American regionalism more broadly.
His current project expands on these topics, with a critical analysis of agriculture in the making of international (dis)order. With specific focus on the historical formation of the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation, this long-term archival research project aims to shed much needed light on the ways in which humanity’s transformation of the earth simultaneously transforms ‘the international’.

Venue: MOME (1121 Budapest, Zugligeti út 9-25.), UP_217

Organised by the MOME Centre for Photography for the fourth time, the international Work in Context symposium explores current directions in Central European photography, along with their theoretical and social contexts. This year’s edition, under the subtitle Peripheral Priorities:!, sets out to reconsider the challenges facing contemporary photography by drawing on the contradictions embedded in public discourse (i.e. oxymorons) such as “war for peace” or “false truth”. Speakers addressing the social, historical, and political roles of photography offer nuanced, multi-perspective interpretations, engaging with themes such as memory, post-socialist legacies, and marginalised creative positions.
