E.M.A.N.C.I.P.A.T.I.O.N. A flag interrupts the structure of the auditorium - the representational space of discussion and debate that favors 'a scene' - to present different points (tables) of work and debate (including the lobby), multiplying and distributing the flow through displacements in different areas of the auditorium and through different subjects. Each table and each debate is developed autonomously with respect to the rest, but at the same time establishes bridges for integration.

Round Tables:
EDUCATION, TERRITORY, RIGHTS (human, employment, gender, leisure), INTERNET AND FREE MEDIA, PROPOSALS FOR PUBLIC POLICIES, LOCALIZATION OF HEGEMONIES, SOCIAL PROTECTION FOR ARTISTS (PENSION, FEES, HEALTH INSURANCE), NEW MODELS.
This map alters, multiplies and distributes the flow of discussion and exchange, with total autonomy and simultaneity.

E.M.A.N.C.I.P.A.T.I.O.N. is painted letter by letter in parallel with the debates, and the percussionists accompany the tone of the exchanges.
The aim: to map emancipatory processes that allows the public to think and act independent of the logic of capitalism. What debates are we obliged to present among ourselves as distinct representatives of art, counterculture, activism and self-organization?
