When Men Hold Power They Abuse It (Socialart.Work). This item is unavailable.When Men Hold Power They Abuse It (Socialart.Work)

Annie Rickard is the founder and former Global  President of the international media buying network Posterscope Worldwide.

The public artist Martin Firrell uses language in public space to stimulate debate and promote change with the aim of making the world more humane.

In conversation, Rickard and Firrell reflect on male entitlement, the connection between sex and corruption and the different ways women and men regard, hold and use power.

Firrell contrasts the contemporary views of Annie Rickard on fraud, sex and sexual abuse with the ideas of Jane Anger in her classic feminist pamphlet of 1589, ‘Jane Anger, Her Protection For Women’.
