Dutch artist Renzo Martens's provocative film Episode 3 - 'Enjoy Poverty' (2009, 90 min) critically investigates the representation of Congolese poverty by pressuring the contradictions of humanitarianism, photojournalism, and concerned contemporary art. The film asks 'who owns poverty?' and examines the ethics and economics surrounding images of post-colonial suffering.

Following the screening, Martens will be joined in conversation by T.J. Demos and Tamar Garb, both of UCL's Department of Art History.
