RuralC at the II Encuentro Cultura y Ciudadanía

During the days 13 and 14 of October 2016 we were in the II Encuentro Cultura Ciudadanía


























In 2016 the the Meeting focuses on a polyhedral reality, with multiple semantic drifts: the TERRITORY. This necessarily includes the sphere of the local, but it also implies a relational dimension that emphasizes the exchanges, negotiations, intersections and flows that occur or strike in a given cultural space. Beyond the city or municipality, culture is also expressed through spaces of encounter and fabrics of relationships that surpass and transcend the strictly local. Peers as center-periphery, global-local or urban-rural reject any absolute or antagonistic character, and appear rather as ambiguous and polysemic realities, in constant redefinition, based not so much on defining attributes as on relations and processes. Territory is also a flexible reality in spatial and symbolic terms, which can be expanded or contracted according to specific moments, circumstances and interests. 

The meeting was articulated as a dynamic forum with presentations and interventions of 10/15 minutes of about 200 projects. Also themed tables and performances. Our presentation was inside the table Rural Urban Dialogues, Global Local, moderated by Fernando Bayona.We told the origins of the RuralC association and some of the projects we have development, contributing our vision of how we think culture could help to face the challenges that are presented to the rural. 
Here we leave the slide of our presentation:



We also leave you some of the notes, tweets and projects presented:

Fundación Cerezales and its "Terriotorio Archivo",  a project to learn a lot from the rural initiatives.


Katakrak is defined as a political enterprise, the time of work is dedicated to social transformation. 
It develops on a library and as it is ordered around cross-sections such as: body, ecology, feminisms or geopolitics to become a space that generates community.
With a canteen that establishes relationships around products of closeness and organic production, with prices varying according to your purchasing level.


Carles presented us Les Falles Populars i Combatives, a proposal for an open and self-organized party born in 2002, the result of the combined work of various groups of the city of Valencia. They have been consolidated as a space in which to recover the popular spirit of the fallas, giving life to the squares, the solar (through the Xunta Solar Fallera) and the networks. During his presentation he reminded us how National Catholicism instrumented these popular festivals of a critical nature, such as the left and the libertarian movements reneged during decades of this party that belonged to them, and how gradually the self-management of the feast is recovered from the communities and outside of institutions and multinationals.


Alberto presented us El recetario a platform that freely shares documentation and manuals on constructive solutions for Habitat from Waste (Hábitat a partir de Residuos).

Fernando presented us the Festival de Video Creative Commons, A festival that has been replicated by different cities, and that you can also copy.  It began with the Creative Commons licenses and has become a space for dialogue, knowledge and defense of Free Culture and audiovisual as a tool for criticism and transformation of our environment.


María Lobo and Roi presented us Rec Think. A web-doc with young people from rural areas in process of depopulation in four European countries. It seeks to involve them in a process to re-think and redefine their role in the future of these localities. Participatory video is the methodology used.
They release the code of all their methodology, offering Guides on the implementation of innovative strategies that promote the participation of young people in rural environments, on Participatory Video or on the promotion of transversal competences in rural environments.

We leave you a video of this project, which reflects the number of problems we face from the rural:

!Agitation at Faculty of Fine Arts - Complutense University of Madrid


On February 28 we were in the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Complutense University of Madrid, making our chat/conference !Agitation at "la trasera" , a curious place where students are developing activities. The talk was part of the programme Acciones Complementarias . There appeared some pupils, about seven or eight, some teachers and organizers and some cultural observers.
Around a table we showed some of our projects, emphasizing in their development. Teaching them the keys for their implementation and results.
The models are based on exploiting the creative potential of small communities, and undertaking joint projects that seek to be totally self-managed.
We advise attendees on how to conduct participatory events, how to mount a network with other people and make a project more powerful, tricks to make things better, and how to get benefits for all the net-workers.
Projects we showed were performed in
a gallery, in a CSO (Squat Social Center), in a Civic Center and in a Cultural Associaciation in a rural area.

After the chat/conference, which lasted an hour and a half, we went to drink some beers into the space next to the cafeteria, where we talked with some of the students. They told us about their projects, one located in the same space: El espacio POOL (click + info)

We visited another project from the students, it was an ephemeral construction in one of the corridors of the faculty
. + info - El Pasillero

In this space we found various interventions, like this one:

It was a nice evening and a rewarding experience.


"Mucho Philips" - Off LImits Madrid

Today 24 May at 21 o´clock,

It opens a new travelling exhibition program of Playtime: Programa Puente.
They will screen our video
Mucho Philips.

Traditionally, audiovisual works have been classified into two major groups according to whether they were fiction or documentary. But the line between this division is getting closer.

Stories that appear realities, realities beyond the limits of fiction, music videos for groups 2.0,
or faithful portraits of faces missing, are some of the bridges linking the two banks and that this new program is dedicated to the Traveling Playtime Cinema.


Off Limits
- C/ Escuadra 11
