BUT THE POLICE – ARTIVISM.TODAY

https://artivism.today

Two days of reflection and discussion on contemporary artivism, organized by Label Intergalactic Giacomo Verde Artivist, to explore new practices of resistance, memory and collective freedom.

“But the police?

Identifications for a banner or flag displayed by private citizens, house arrest for roadblocks, convictions for writing on a wall, criminalization of occupations. All this accustoms us to an exhausting war alert, accustoms us to war. It seems like an unprecedented process, but for decades Italian politics has been based on the emergency state and has flowed from emergency to alert, leaving reflections until a tomorrow that does not arrive.

Stunned in a surreal dimension, dissent linked to growing social disparity often finds itself face to face with an imposing and now limitless military structure: perhaps different tactics are needed to escape encirclement and find new spaces of freedom.”
