Exploring a four-decade span of 'cultural cruelty,' the narrative delves into the impact of financialisation, austerity, and communicative capitalism in London's Docklands. Set against the backdrop of a bankrupted warehouse, it reflects on Alan Read's experiences from the 1980s, providing a critical lens on how these forces have shaped cultural landscapes and human experiences. The work invites readers to confront the consequences of economic decisions on artistic expression and community vitality.
