Hey kidz! Author Anne Elizabeth Moore in Minneapolis!
A little over a year ago I was talking about my crazy nonprofit idea with Chris Berger from Berger Brands. He had just seen Anne Elizabeth Moore at PUSH 2007, thought she was fantastic and that I would really dig her book, Hey Kidz, Buy This Book: A Radical Primer on Corporate and Governmental Propaganda and Artistic Activism for Short People.
Chris was right. A little over a year later and I’m helping promote Moore and her book Unmarketable: Brandalism, Copyfighting, Mocketing, and the Erosion of Integrity.
Moore, who will be in Minneapolis to present at the National Conference on Media Reform, will be reading at Arise! Bookstore, 2441 Lyndale Avenue S., on Sunday, June 8, at 7:00 p.m.
She will also discuss her role as executive director of the Anti-Advertising Agency’s Foundation for Freedom.
The mission of the Anti-Advertising Agency Foundation For Freedom is to bring the best and brightest former ad pros together once a year; inspire young people to leave the craft; focus the industry and public at large on the profoundly negative social justice impacts of advertising; inspire problem-solving methods focused on the most important issues facing the real world; and shine a light on the influence the advertising, media, and marketing industries has on dwindling public space, atrophying human relationships, and the destruction of democracy.
The event is free. Invitation also available on Facebook.
