READING TIME | here we come and we don’t care mucho
Here we come and we don’t care mucho, it seems to be a good phrase to describe the internal force that drives the society in which we live nowadays; every time I get on the bus, walking the streets or a good song randomly plays from my Spotify playlist, I force myself to take aContinue reading “READING TIME | here we come and we don’t care mucho”
READING TIME | inaction? thinking the world theoretically
Based on Chantal Mouffe book Agonistics, Thinking the World Politically, 2013 Left or right, neo-liberal, liberal, democrat, capitalist, totalitarian, etc.; we seem to carry a bag full of concepts and definitions to refer to the different political and economic models in a society.

Uroskie’s book Between the Black Box and the White Cube, 2014 Introduction – From Medium to SiteThe expanded cinema is an outlet, a vertex of infinite possibilities that allowed the artist to shed the unilateral relationship between what was shown on the screen and the passive experience of the audience.

READING TIME | tracing yellow
Sometimes I like to be in motion, to be transported, to walk, to listen most of the time to my own steps- but what I like most is to lose myself in the city and into my thoughts. It is a way to be aware of myself in my everyday life. It shows me thatContinue reading “READING TIME | tracing yellow”
