BALLENA-HOUSE OF THE BICENTENARY PROJECT – TELAM Agency
The talk “Carnival, the popular festival that resists” will take place today at the Casa del Bicentenario, with the presence of representatives of the Buenos Aires murgas, within the framework of the Festival of Democracy and Political Imagination in Latin America, which is part of the Project’s agenda Whale 2023.
Participating in this meeting are Carlos Díaz, general director of the Murga La Gloriosa de Boedo Center and delegate of the city’s carnival groups; Mariano Belvedere, general director of the Centro Murga Los Auténticos Rayados de Lugano, cultural manager and founding member of the Living Museum of the Metropolitan Carnival; and Luciana Vainer, a member of the murga Lxs Quitapenas, moderated by former legislator Lorena Pokoik.
The National House of the Bicentennial is one of the venues of the Democracy and Political Imagination Festival in Latin America.
At the meeting, they will seek to discuss political creativity to challenge a radically unfair order; about the possibilities of democracy to refound a community of destiny, and how the notions of food sovereignty and popular economy renew the vocabulary of politics,” it was reported in a statement.
The priority debates and agendas that cross feminisms in a context of increasing feminization of poverty and the challenges posed by artificial intelligence for life, work and knowledge are other questions that are added throughout the Democracy Festival and Political Imagination as part of the Ballena Project, which is in its fourth year.
The festival “renews the will to open a space for social conversation, oriented with the double compass of critical thinking and the creative impulse displayed by the social, cultural and political movements and organizations of our country and the region,” the information indicates.
This new edition, the Whale Project, which ends tomorrow, “chooses a path to commemorate 40 uninterrupted years of Argentine democracy: ask ourselves how to broaden and update its founding values, and at this unsettling moment for the democracies of our region and the world, we invoke the political imagination as an urgent agenda,” he adds.
The debate will take place today at 6:00 p.m. at Riobamba 985, in the City of Buenos Aires.
