!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.


!Agitation

In this lecture we present several performance models as a starting point to create cultural events and networks. We show several Fur Alle Falle projects, the keys for the realization and the results obtained.



About !Agitation, cultural dynamization and creation of networks.

For us, !Agitating is to make changes, dynamizing cultural and social structures.
Cultural Agitation is to promote active citizenship, capable of carrying out their own cultural projects.

Cultural agitator works as a link and initial motor of a network, promoting the participation of local actors in the creative process

The work of the agitator

Building tools, resources and innovative models. Teaching guidelines for reproducing this models, so that groups of citizens could learn and adapt to their circumstances and their evolution.
Updating or re-inventing spaces for use.

Improving the working methods of the groups.
Creating projects based on sustainability and self management (through the exchange of goods and services).

The work should contribute to the commons.

It´s not a "cultural animator". It must lead to changes and propose solutions to ideological or aesthetic problems.

It is not an "activist" because its function is not only political or social, is also aesthetics, acting on leisure (although it is hard not to be political).

Institutional or independent.
Being a cultural agitator out of the industry and institutions is complex, often not recognized as professional work and often not remunerated.

Many times cultural agitators are rejected or condemned because of the fact of causing changes that generate crisis (of power, ideas, etc).

In industry, the agitator could be a publicist or a community-manager. Institutionally, he would be a culture or social issues technician or councilor. Cultural agitator should spend time with citizens groups, to find common interests.

He should know the creative potential and the different skills of the members of their community. Then, to promote activities on these interests and abilities, creating knowledge sharing and social and cultural activity.

Voluntary or Involuntary
The agitator has to move structures that seem irremovable.
There are many cases where cultural agitation happens involuntarily, often caused by media or political interests. Check the #vigalondo case some weeks ago. Suddenly because of an ingenious tweet, some people thought about the limits of humor, censorship, and the use of social-networks tools. Another example is our project www.finisgloriaemundi.wordpress.com.
But this is another issue.

Scope
The models we show, stimulate the socio-cultural life of a community and create networks. Focus on sharing the nearest creative potential of your environment and your social-network.
The results of our actions are observed in a medium and long term. They are presented as products, speeches, lectures, events, happenings or performances.

Projets we show in the conference are:
Kitsch Kitchen
Torneo Passion
Kafé tà Kabaré
Ruralc


Our project PASSIÓN has been selected by iDENSITATS Sport, Creativity and Social Inclusion.
The project is ongoing, awaiting funding for a documentary research.
It was also selected LA JUVENTUS a project by José Jurado , in wich we are part of the documentation team.

Circuit Bending Workshop. Dio3stu & RURAL C

During the 25th and 26th December 2010 we developed a circuit bending workshop in Villanueva de los Infantes, at RURAL C space, within the project Dio3stu.
The initiative grew out of interest of 3 people to learn this technique of building electronic musical instruments.
So we teach the basic knowledge and we made 2 instruments, one of them more or less finished, called "Chessboard".



For the instrument "Checkerboard" we used a 6 € toy piano. For the chassis we used a box of Ferrero Rocher.
When performing the bending we add a Pitch, 2 filters, a noise and a pitcher of loops.
We leave you a video to watch how it works in one of the tests
