Friday 24

18:00 h

Presentation of the comic “The abolition of work”, by its cartoonist, Bruno Borges (Pepitas de Calabaza, 2022)

Illustrated edition of the most accurate pamphlet in recent decades. The illustrator Bruno Borges accompanies this text by Bob Black written in 1985 with images that, as stimulating as it is contagious, continues to keep intact its strength to propel our lives towards a search for plenitude and to face the mutilation that the economy imposes on us. At this point in the 21st century, Black's work continues to be a heresy for many: for us it is, in addition to a harmonious hymn to life, a monumental cutting of the sleeves to the established mental order.

This anthology is designed to give a perspective of the ideas of that powerful moment with a selection of writings by different authors, from the most representative critical currents: Basaglia, Laing, Schatzman, Goffman, Guattari, Castel, Foucault, Artaud, Casilda Rodrigáñez. or the poet Leopoldo María Panero. A good introduction to understand the relationship between personal and social discomfort.

Thus, Almudena will tell us about Kati Horna, an anarchist photographer who documented everyday life in communities at the beginning of the Civil War.

Guided tour «El cante jondo del urbanismo». Guided by Pedro Lópeh – El Café de Silverio – and María Barrero –Red Conflictos Urbanos –.

Flamenco crystallized as a genre in the second half of the 19th century, after decades of tourist influence in Andalusia. Decoy and victim at the same time, cante has served to justify the same urban and tourist policies in Seville that have been killing it. We will take a walk through the urban landmarks of the city that reflect its socio-spatial contradictions related to flamenco.

Debate on gordophobia, with Magdalena Piñeyro and the Tripas Revueltas collective

Gordophobia is the hatred, rejection and violence suffered by fat people for being fat. A discrimination founded on prejudices regarding the habits, customs and health of these people, prejudices that are nourished by the belief that the fat body responds to a lack of will or self-care, of not making enough effort to be thin, reason for which it deserves rejection. We will chat with Magdalena Piñeyro, a philosopher and activist who fights against discrimination against fat people, and with Tripas Revueltas, an anti-fat-phobic commando, authors of the fanzine of the same name.

The revolutions of Kati Horna

Photographs of the Spanish social revolution

Kati Horna (Budapest, 1912 – Mexico, 2000) was an independent photographer who was a reporter during the Spanish Civil War. She defended photography as a form of political and artistic expression. She committed herself to making social relationships visible and reflecting on her own journey as a Jewish migrant from Budapest to Mexico City, where she lived in a community of exiled European artists since 1939. Throughout her life she was involved in political circles from left and artistic vanguards. She put her objective and her libertarian gaze at the service of the Social Revolution and in support of the anarcho-syndicalist movement.
