Screening and talk Episode 3 - Enjoy Poverty, 2009

Dutch artist Renzo Martens's provocative film Episode 3 - 'Enjoy Poverty' (2009, 90 min) critically  investigates the representation of Congolese poverty by pressuring the contradictions of humanitarianism,
photojournalism, and concerned contemporary art. The film asks 'who owns poverty?' and examines the ethics and economics surrounding images of
post-colonial suffering.

Following the screening, Martens will be joined in conversation by T.J. Demos and Tamar Garb, both of UCL's Department of Art History.
With support from UCL's Centre for the Study of Contemporary Art, and Wilkinson Gallery.
