3 of our cardboard “gods of our time” featured at Wellbeing Economy Cymru Day at Swansea Arena. We took along Death, Meritocracy and Lady Luck each with a question they wished to ask the audience. People’s responses, particularly to Meritocracy’s question “where are you on my ladder?” were fascinating. I will reflect on the responses and ensuing conversations in a longer blog in due course.
Note that our gods now have their own (cardboard of course) pillars to make them feel more at home in their own pantheon with the pillars representing existing or decaying institutions of our time. Kirsty pointed out that we often encounter pillars as the only remnants in the ruins of past civic institutions.
Next adventure for the gods is a trip North to Fay Andrews-Hodgson’s new community discussion forum, Peosis in York in February 2026
