Nicola Sturgeon Meets Darren McGarvey - Trauma Industrial Complex
Today, trauma permeates media, from music and television to films and books. While the increasing openness is welcome, Darren has observed that the webs of digital networks surrounding us and which commodify our most vulnerable experiences often harm us more than help us heal. How did we get here? What role does social media play in commodifying our experiences? And are the stories we’re telling ourselves liberating us or keeping us trapped?
In conversation with Nicola Sturgeon, Darren explores the intersections of trauma, identity, social media, and society, revealing how we can fight back against the larger corporations that are turning our real and vulnerable stories into digital commodities, and truly advocate for marginalised voices.
