Always to the front, but where to?
Who we are?
We are a semi-fictional collective, based on artistic action and collective thinking.
«Always to the front but where to» is not a fixed group of people but a cell that forms and dissolves, whose existence is situational.
We conspire to generate spaces and situations in which we can create links with our vital desires: not having to sell our time in exchange for money, find ways to self-manage our basic needs, generate bonds and networks collectively, create and share culture, don’t reduce social relations to commercial relations, establish sustainable relationships with nature, experiment non-hierarchical relationships, etc.
We are a network of multiple bodies in permanent construction-deconstruction and we are mostly doubting a lot.
Method
The exercise of utopian conspiracy seeks to create spaces of possibility (mind space) , trough the re-appropriation of what already exists in our environment. The method begins with the identification and critique of different elements that exert an oppressive function in our urban context. Continuing by the proposal of fictions and situations that might de-stabilize the rigidity of those elements. Every negative gesture, in the sense of criticism of an oppressive force is accompanied by a possible fictitious tactic to contour it.
We do not intend to create viable alternatives but generate situations that can favor their thinking or projection.
We want to develop critical and creative thinking that seeks possible answers to the question of how we want to live.
We have more interest in the moment or the situation than in the static representation. Bearing in mind that we are in constant construction, the organisation avoids setting meanings permanently. The actions are understood as a continuous research process. For this reason, this manifesto might be already expired.
During the future gatherings of the fictional collective new Many-festos will be put in discussion replacing this one. You can listen the last one down. ↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓↓
