CULTURE OF RESISTANCE AND CULTURAL RESISTANCE

Curated by: Equid’Artes
Moderator: Marta Amorim

Description:
Art has always been a powerful tool for communication and critical expression, especially in contexts of crisis and threats to freedom and social justice. In times of crisis, art not only reflects the tensions of the time, but also acts as a means of resistance and transformation. Curated by Equid’Artes, this round table explores how culture is asserting itself as a response to the democratic deficit.

We bring together artists, creators, collectives and other cultural agents who use their platforms to challenge anti-democratic messages and agendas. The aim is to share experiences, discuss urgencies and exchange knowledge about concrete examples of cultural resistance. Together, we will examine how, within the cultural sector, extremist discourses and ideologies are combated, promoting values of diversity, inclusion and social justice.
