FER-SE UN LLOC, HABITAR L’ESQUERDA (To make space, to inhabit the fracture)
Public spaces are alien to us, as if they were designed for other bodies, other rhythms, other ways of being. Territories in dispute that allow us to pass through, but not stay. We mark out gestures; we
calculate each movement; we justify our presence.
Even so, there are fractures: fissures where something different can occur. Mismatches that defy the norm and allow us to imagine other ways of living together, of attending to ourselves, of being with others. Places where the everyday resists, where the unexpected, the intimate and the commonplace filter through. Spaces where tensions are generated, small ruptures, where life expresses itself in an indifferent and at the same time savage way.
Thinking about these spaces from their precariousness, vulnerability and insistence; like scenarios where the city reveals its seams. And, for a moment, it might seem that another life becomes somewhat possible.
On 19 July at 18:30h we invite you to be part of this crack that has been widening during some meetings where we have put together different ways of understanding and inhabiting public space. This last session will be dedicated to thinking, talking and experimenting collectively. You can bring a text or any material you wish to share.
