DISPOSITIVOS POST- | S+T+I: Artistic Practices, Networks of Citizen Action in Post-Crisis Contexts

webmaster 14-01-2014

DISPOSITIVOS POST- | S+T+I is a project that features different phases in order to reflect, imagine, debate and propose interventions and collaborations, so as to establish a relation between the social space and creative practices. Approaches to a future beyond the scenery conditioned by the decadence and tensions triggered by the crisis.

The project explores creative practices linked to networks of citizen action, to generate processes and proposals of future transformations, by stating a series of questions to analyze this scenery and create the framework to collectively imagine future options. These questions are debated through a seminar, workshop and a group of interventions in the public space:

What are the interactions between artistic practices and the social space within the contemporary context? Can art actually have an effect on the social sphere? What’s the role to be played by networks of citizen action in terms of future policies? What are their margins and /or limits to get their demands solved? In times when the citizens are immersed in emancipation processes, what’s the role to be played by culture / artistic practices, from the perspective of reactivation of social space? How can the creativity be channeled in the construction processes of the city? What happens when art wants to be useful? Is there an abuse of these sorts of practices? ¿Negligence, passivity, decadence, impotence, programed dismantling of public institutions? Is it necessary to reconstruct the institutional? What’s the role to be played by creative projects within a context of crisis of models? Are the artistic practices necessary in future contemporary societies? What’s the role of cultural institutions in a brand-new paradigm headed by a mobilized citizenship?
