ZEG London: Stories That Connect Us

ZEG London: Stories That Connect Us

Power hides in plain sight: in algorithms that decide what we see, in oligarchs who shape what we believe, in borders that erase entire peoples. But patterns emerge when we connect the dots between colonial blueprints and Silicon Valley dreams, between stories we're told and realities we live, between resistance movements spanning continents and centuries.

Join us for a full day of aha moments, unexpected connections and mind-expanding stories as we discover what becomes possible when we see the architecture beneath the chaos. In partnership with this immersive experience brings together journalists, artists, activists, and thinkers to explore how power operates across time, space, and systems.
