SMINOS

BOOK-LIKE, EDUCATIVE, EPHEMINE, NOMAD, LAZY, CO-OPERATIVE, POLITICAL

There is this deathly embrace of neoliberal destructiveness all around us. From Evia to Tempi and from Pylos to the daily wage, everything around us is filled with mourning and ugliness. And then there are the everyday resistances, overt and unacknowledged, that make life bearable, often and beautiful. Somewhere in the middle of this tug-of-war is us, who, more than a job, want our relationships to foreshadow a possible future beyond capitalism.

We said, therefore, that it is a good occasion to gather, words, ideas and actions in a two-day festival, in a celebration.

In place of forced association and pre-made behaviors, we counter-propose a swarming with you on the free and festive side of ideas and everyday life. We oppose a swarm of free meetings, of dialogue, of participation.
