Cassie Thornton

Cassie Thornton is an artist who is sometimes referred to as the Feminist Economics Department (the FED), and who works in collusion with Strike Debt in Oakland, California. Her work investigates and reveals the impact of governmental and economic systems on public affect, behavior, and unconscious, with a focus on debt and security. Cassie's recent works offer regular people an alternate route to find 'financial success' by revealing the value of complex personal narratives instead of credit scores, dreams over data, and value divorced from nasty cheating money.
