Debate held on 14th of May, 2020.
Moderated by Ricardo Devesa.
In front of a hyper-technified world, we need more technology. In front of an inhuman world, we need more otherness. In front of a perturbed world, we need more alienation. And above all, in front of an adulterated world, we need more artifice. In this scenario, biological agents, ecological agents, technological agents and cultural agents coproduce a reality that is no longer built from Promethean epics, relativist ironies or primitivist nostalgia, but from accelerated hybrids; poly-plural constructs that hurtle towards a post-capitalist world. In the light of this narrative, Black Ecologies displays an architecture based not only on processes and performances, but also on specific, literal and hyperrealist protocols; they do not find shelter in abstraction, history or language, but on the conformation of operative “assemblages”. This open debate – moderated by Ricardo Devesa and presented with an experimental and proactive foundation and associated with a technological and creative innovation – aims at to combining inter-disciplinary and multi-scalar exchanges with a new environmental and socio-cultural sensitivity.
