Commissioned by the Engaging Tactics stream at the

British Sociological Association (BSA) Annual Conference 2013 held at the Grand Connaught Rooms in London.

​

Standing on Covent Garden in London, Grand Connaught Rooms has a history dating back to 1775. The building was once home to the original Freemasons’ Tavern before becoming a hotel in 1909.

​

As a site specific intervention the video reimagines a ceremony of the Freemasons as a question rather than a statement: in endless circulation the figure is unable – or unwilling – to reach the pulpit to carry out ritual actions.

The video asks its viewers to think about exclusion and inaccessibility at the BSA Annual Conference – about who is invited to the table.
