Ever thought much about debt? Eg. Pondered that it’s messed up that people have to pay huge sums of interest over most of their adult lives simply to have a place to call their own? Ever considered how stultifying that could be and whether there’s another way?

Hey all! We’re new here but have been around for a few years, organising research and events for people interested in the way ancient worlds can be used in critical and emancipatory ways. We’ve got a website (criticalantiquities.org) where you can see what our network involves and what’s coming up.
