22. World Building - Vid Simoniti

Vid Simoniti is a Senior Lecturer in Philosophy of Art at the University of Liverpool, where he also directs the MA in Art, Philosophy and Cultural Institutions. Before joining the department at Liverpool in 2018, he was the inaugural Jeffrey Rubinoff Junior Research Fellow at Churchill College, the University of Cambridge. Vid's academic work bridges philosophy, political thoughts and arts criticism. He's interested in how art can bring about social and political change and his most recent book Artists Remake the World offers his answer to that question. And as the title suggests, it's both a hopeful and an ambitious one. Vid has an exciting public profile. He has been the BBC New Generation thinker, presented radio shows, and he has hosted the Art Against the World podcast, a collaboration with the Liverpool Biennial. https://www.vidsimoniti.com/Art Against The World podcast: https://liverpoolbiennial2021.com/programme/art-against-the-world/Faculty page: https://www.liverpool.ac.uk/philosophy/staff/vid-simoniti/The Cluster F Theory Podcast is edited by Julian Mayers at Yada Yada https://www.yada-yada.net/.You can also subscribe on Apple Podcasts or anywhere else you listen to podcasts.If you enjoy the podcast, it’d be great if you could rate or review it ore reccommend it to your friends!
