— from Regina Zwilling —
Consumerism has become the cornerstone of the post-industrial age. Yet how much do we know about it and what it is doing to us? Join Orcas Food Co-op and The Exchange for the next in our series of films, “Consumed.”
Using theories of evolutionary psychology to underpin a bold narrative of our times, this film takes a whirlwind tour through the “weird mental illness of consumerism,” showing how our insatiable appetite has driven us into “the jaws of the beast”.
Monday, November 28th, 5:30 at the Library. It’s FREE!
When I was a student at the UW in the late 70’s, spray painted on a wall was one of my favorite grafiti messages ever: “The urge to buy consumes you.”
