Discussion with Albert Heta and Agon Hamza, Wednesday, 3
December at 6 p.m.
The encounter of art and activist collectives
from three continents is a small piece in the mosaic of
numerous experiments of symbolic and material social
recomposition in times of capitalism’ profound systemic
crisis. It represents an opportunity to rekindle discussions
about the tradition of radical pedagogy and the methods of
co-research, to learn about the media representations of
overlooked realities excluded from the mainstream visual and
sensual realms, about various tools for the production and
distribution of effective counter-narrations emerging at the
margins of the system: autonomous, self-organized
communities.
There is no silence, we are here to speak.
About memories that give us strength to organize social
struggles. About networks that move into new territories.
About art as experience and experiment. About cultural
hybrids and political mutants. About practices of freedom
and about different social relations.
In their different ways, the participants are
involved in deconstructing the dominant meanings, media
discourses, and ideological certainties to give back the
voice to those who were voiceless, and the image to those
who were faceless. Their counter-narrations (publicly
ignored histories, unspoken memories, etc.) humbly submit to
the principles of empowering communities (of native
inhabitants, farmers without land, children from
metropolitan margins, relatives of the disappeared, migrant
and precarious workers). They are based on a grammar of
practical questions and concepts, whose purpose is not to
formulate a unified “program of action,” but to teach us to
tell a coherent story committed to new subjectivities of
resistance.
