MoneyLab #3 Failing Better

Date: 1 – 2 December 2016
Conference: Pakhuis de Zwijger, Amsterdam (NL)

On Thursday 1 and Friday 2 December, Moneylab#3 will bring together a cacophony of artistic and economic experimentation that offer strategies for the 99%. A two-day symposium of talks, workshops, performances and parties that tackle the assumption that there is anything too big to fail.
