The Freedom Trap, Re: CONSIDERING

Re:CONSIDERING invites you to look at what’s familiar from an unfamiliar angle. To consider how we consider things – and how to do it better.

Has our obsession with freedom distracted us from more important things?
Freedom has crept out of our constitutions and legal systems and into our eating, shopping and live-streaming habits.
There’s more and more to be free from: inconvenience, offence, limits – anything that stands in the way of what we want. And yet, we are – somehow – more anxious, grumpy and divided than ever.
Can a society that’s drunk on freedom come back to its senses? What if freedom is a trap? And if it is, what can we do to free ourselves from it?
