Carla Cruz | The first step out of a hole is to stop digging
Cycle “Da DERIVA” curated by João Baeta – Saco Azul
Openning: 26.06.2023 (THU), 6.30pm
Until: 26.07.2023
End of the month, end of the world. The same struggle.
Bifo Berardi provokes:
Radicalism should abandon the mode of activism, and adopt a passive mode.We have been working too much over the past three or four centuries, and outrageously too much over the last thirty years.. If a creative consciousness of exhaustion could arise, the current depression may mark the beginning of a massive abandonment of competition, the consumerist drive and dependence on work.
The first step out of a hole is to stop digging.
Suely Rolnik encourages:
We must not wait for the messianic arrival of the revolution, but constantly implicate ourselves in a heterogenous multiplication of revolutionary micropolitical processes. It is necessary to resist the colonial-capitalist desire in ourselves. We must take responsibility for ourselves as living beings and fight for the re-appropriation of the powers of creation and cooperation and for the construction of the common that depends on it.
Under the cobblestones, the beach!
