These are the people who participated in the debate:
Nicoletta Braga, Jose Juan Barba, Laura Cazzaniga, Elisa Franzoi, Mauro Folci, Antonio Gomez Villar, Marco Maria Linzi (Teatro della Contraddizione), Juan Pablo Macias, Massimo Mazzone, Maria Pinto del Rocio, Beltran Roca Martinez, Marco Rinaldi, Lorenzo Romito, Santiago Sierra.
Different points of view were exposed, introducing several topics that will be displayed in more detail in a forthcoming book. Among them: the libertarian interpretation of flamenco culture or the expressed opposition to the dictatorship in religious manifestations in Andalusia (B. Roca Martinez and M. Pinto), self-organization (MM Linzi) talking about biopolitics and linguistic productivity (M. Folci, A. Gómez Villar), new visions on public space in the recent processes of design and its ontological use (J.J. Barba), the issue of physical separation and political control (E. Franzoi ), the relationship between art and politics (L. Cazzaniga, S. Sierra, M. Rinaldi), colonization and cultural decolonization, the legacy of liberal ideas (M. Mazzone) and the practice of shared authorship (L. Romito).
All the participants agreed on one common point: the necessity to promote from the bottom new models of aesthetics, art and architecture. These should be able to give concrete answers to the demands and protests growing from the indignant squares and the 15M, whose aims and feelings are far away from the pre-packed cultural programmes traditionally organized by Administrations and Institutions.
