The Money Project: “It is easier for an artist to talk about [financial systems] than an economist,” according to Dutch performance artist Dette Glashouwer. Artists can more easily communicate with people in a way that they will comprehend. Glashouwer admits that before the 2008 financial crises, she had an aversion to money, preferring instead not to think about it. However, after losing her income when her theater company closed, Glashouwer realized that she could no longer live in fear of money.
