Join EartH for this Downstream IRL, where Ash Sarkar will sit down with Owen Jones to discuss his new book, The Fall of the West: How They Really Lost It.

For years, the right has pinned the blame on migrants, Muslims and a 'woke mob'. That story has gone mainstream. But, Jones argues, the real culprit is the power-hungry ruling class and 'good, old-fashioned hubris'.

On a journey from Afghanistan and Iraq to the 2008 crash and Gaza today, he shows how a West, convinced its rule would last forever, ended up in an existential crisis of its own making. Against this backdrop, can Burnham's Labour mark a real break from Starmerism, or does he just have better PR - and what does it mean for the Greens?

Forensic Architecture's Assistant Director of Research, Samaneh Moafi, will open the event in conversation with Aaron Bastani. Expect a look inside their radical approach to investigating state violence, including the team’s comprehensive mapping of Israel’s military conduct in Gaza since 2023.

Expect big questions, bold analysis, and the kind of conversation you simply won't find anywhere else.
