Sweeny vs Bard S03E13: With Orsolya Bajusz

The post-woke future

A conversation where media artist and scholar Orsolya Bajusz tells her story about how as an activist she was attacked and scapegoated by a social justice lynch mob and how she won the war against mass psychosis and authoritarianism.  A critique of woke culture and political correctness and how to live in a post woke future. Orsolya Bajusz concludes by telling us: ‘Don’t be a doormat, don’t be a pillar saint!’. 

Here is the summary of Orsolya Bajusz’s story

 Bio: Orsolya Bajusz is based in Budapest. Besides soon defending her  Ph.D at the Sociology Department of Corvinus University of Budapest and teaching there, she produces work across multiple platforms, preferring to work in collaboration, networked practices or anonymously.

Her Ph.D explores the role of the affective and visual registers in contemporary public debates and controversies around biotechnology, and thus exploring how posthuman praxes clash with the existing cultural imaginary, and she is working on developing a methodological framework to analyse the intersection of science communication and contemporary art. Her first book (a theory fiction) is under publishing.
