Craig and Adam are joined by Idris Robinson to ask the question of destituent revolt in a murderous and counter-revolutionary world. We discussed Idris' work on the nature of martyrdom, the relation of the insurgent to death, and the political meaning of duty, both to the dead and within the confines of an intolerable life. Reading from Idris latest book, The Revolt Eclipses Whatever the World has to Offer, out this November from Semiotext(e), we unpack the meaning of destituent or "de-institutionalising" power, and the prospects for a theory of uprisings which refuse the restablishment of the very powers they aim to destroy.

Adam is joined by comrades Abigail Susik (@abigailsusik7), Ben Morea (@ben_morea), and Breanne Fahs to discuss the synthesis of art and activism, as exemplified by Ben’s central role within such collectives as Up Against the Wall Motherfucker! Black Mask, and The Rat during the 60s and 70s in New York. We spoke about Ben’s life and work, from the “redistribution” of garbage to New York’s freshly gentrified Lincoln Centre, breaking into the Pentagon, and helping to inspire the current tactics of the black bloc. Further, we explore the practice of decommodified art against the commercialism of Andy Warhol, and what lessons the radicals of today can learn from the history of a militant, psychedelic surrealism.

A new book of interviews with Ben, “Full Circle: A Life in Rebellion” is available now from Detritus Books: https://detritusbooks.com/products/full-circle-a-life-in-rebellion-ben-morea

Ben is currently making a living through selling his own original artworks, and you can purchase one or more yourselves by getting in contact via his Instragram @ben_morea. Support radical antifascist art!

In this Halloween episode, Meredith Graves joins Acid Horizon to explore the occulted correspondences between philosophy, ritual, and the practice of magic. Together we trace the tangled histories of witchcraft, labor, and belief—from Aleister Crowley and Sylvia Federici to Gilles Deleuze, GWF Hegel, and the haunted legacies of modern materialism. A conversation on mysticism, matter, and the insurgent imagination, recorded in the spirit of the season.

Come see Meredith and Acid Horizon at Durations Festival 2025!
