Скачать или смотреть The Trials of Democracy Podcasts: Peter Pope

Peter Pope is a retired scientist with a special interest in energy conservation. Back in the 70’s he read Small is Beautiful by Fritz Schumacher and it has formed the basis for his philosophy of life. Much more recently Iain McGilchrist’s work on the divided brain has also had a profound influence.

Peter has lived in Cambridge for 48 years and worked mainly on scientific instruments. When time and tide allow he enjoys sailing on the Norfolk Broads and visiting Scotland. He settled down fairly late in life and lives with his partner Meg close to the river Cam. Here Peter reflects on what democracy means to him, how he contributes to nurturing democracy, where the fault-lines are, and how he imagines a thriving democracy could look in the future.

The Trials of Democracy is Menagerie’s Public Art project for 2024–25. It is a unique collaboration between theatre director Patrick Morris and visual artist Hilary Cox Condron, which explores our relationship to Democracy. What does Democracy mean to us? How much do we value it? And do we give a XXXX?
