En efecto, el diálogo ha sido el ethos central del Memefest, desde su nacimiento en 2002. Pero: Y si el diálogo no funcionara?
INTIMIDAD RADICAL: EL DIÁLOGO EN NUESTRO TIEMPO, es el tema del Memefest de este año. E…

Food. Our closest relationship with nature. When we started to research this years theme FOOD DEMOCRACY it was almost impossible to imagine how far reaching it is. How very fundamental to our existence, our relationship to nature, to each other and to our selves it is.
The Food System is designed to serve a tiny minority of food producing corporations backed by copyright regimes. It serves d…
