Together, we rise up
The University of the Phoenix, a collaboration between artist Cassie Thornton and scholar-activist Max Haiven, is a free-school and research institute for the dead that is also sometimes open to not-yet-dead auditors.
Working at the intersection of research, art and activism we instigate locally-informed collaborations for radical financial literacy.
In an age when technologically-accelerated financialization and debt overshadows social and political life we offer revenge consultancy services to those wronged by global capitalism.
We instigate conversations, produce and distribute disruptive media, and plot uninvited appearances of the otherwise invisibilized.
