We are sad that Felix Beltran is not with us anymore. We met Felix in Havana in 2016 when we did Memefest there. He was one of the most important Latino American designers and the key designer in the Cuban revolution as well as the communist party in the Castro regime. The design tradition he was co developing is close to our hearts, infused by critical theory and daring visual language, his aim was to steer the viewer away from beeing a consumer of images. We also think he did really beautiful work. I also have one of his original prints, this op art poster from 1969 I got in Havana in a dusty book store. Here is a little piece about Felix and his work: https://www.printmag.com/daily-heller/the-daily-heller-felix-beltran-art-director/

David Graeber was connected to Memefest mostly via his incredible work on Debt.
This is an invitation to come together across the world for a memorial carnival in the spirit of the one and only, David Graeber, who just left us so suddenly and unexpectedly. The invitation emerges from his wife Nika and a handful of his friends.

The Onto-epistemic Politics of Participatory Design: A Dialogue Between Oliver Vodeb and Arturo Escobar
Oliver Vodeb and Arturo Escobar have in this special dialogue, Participatory Design Conference at the 2020 Festival de la Imagen in Manizales, looked into the radical potential of participation and design, especially in relation to knowledge. Taking a close look at the relations between the academy, practitioners and social movements, the dialogue focused on the politics of the possible, namely, a reality open for cohabitation of different worlds by design.
The conversation examined the potential for epistemic pluralism and participatory epistemologies to foster radical intimacy with each other and the earth. Looking at the growing field of critical design, Vodeb and Escobar discussed capitalism’s predatory strategies and design's role in it, while suggesting that another design, and another possible, are possible.

Description
Martin Petrič, (Postojna 1983)
Visual designer, illustrator and visual artist concentrated on practicing and exploring traditonal and contemporary techniques in art and bringing them to public. Visual thinker and responsible communication ambasador, always opening new connections between artists and educators. I have created a link between education and conventional and alternative practices and theories trough curating Vajkard workshop in collaboration with my mentor Zdravko Papič, Academy of fine arts in Ljubljana and others. My work is dedicated to exploring individual creativity and diversification of visual languages. I am working in Art, Design and Education fields for more than 15 years.
I have joined the Memfest community becasue i am interested in
Collaboration with interesting people.
Always searching for new forms of visual "poetry" in different media, i do not confine my work on any specific style or media, in fact, I try to conscously avoid developing any visible styles of my work, which i know is near to impossible. But i like to think this helps me to explore visual affinities of diverse cultural or market oriented groups, movements or entities. This all derives from my will to try to understand the contexts of visual languages different cultures use, and consequently, i try to understand each visual culture and it's powers.
