In this salon we will consider revolutions and movements past and present. We will discuss the possibilities and problems associated with revolutions and consider if revolutions are necessary for progress. We will question the nature of modern day online movements, such as #metoo, and consider their effectiveness in generating tangible results. Among the questions we will ask ourselves is can a hashtag really change the nature of our realities or are internet fashions dangerous in distracting us from a more profound engagement with important questions and a serious reshaping of society? We will consider the moral and ethical dilemmas associated with movements and consider how to achieve the truest manifestations of justice.
