Audio of the session.
El Patio Maravillas, el CSA La Tabacalera, Cine sin Autor y Acampadasol are very different creative, social and political experiences, but all of them have made openness their identity. Spaces for unforeseen encounters, where meeting other people usually takes place while doing; schools for shared knowledge, factories for knowledge and recycling; massive experiences of participation and politics… What (translating, welcoming, connecting, etc.) devices have been put in motion to open spaces to everybody? Spaces where anybody can participate? How have they activated and taken care of cooperation, encounter and collective life environments? The openness not only connects with similar and constructive energies, but they also have to frequently deal with forces of decompilation (of ways of life, levels of implication, searches) contribute to the common and to not express themselves solely as conflict, animosity, obstacle?.
