This year Cosmoscow Talks educational programme reflects on the topic of the Cosmoscow non-commercial programme “Where is the Revolution?” in a series of lectures and public talks enhanced by art performances. Each event provides its own interpretation of revolutionism from social consequences of love for animals to new media art.
