Todo por la praxis
Architecture, Visual Art
Madrid, Spain
Critical art and architecture collective whose main focus has been citizen activism in public spaces as an alternative to the neoliberal city. Integrated by the artist and architect Diego Peris López, and the visual artist and researcher Jo Muñoz.
They currently focus on dissidence as political forms of resistance to build other possible imaginaries. They analyze current contexts from the challenge of creating, approaching and embracing radical discourses, antagonistic to hegemonic cultural impositions. They move from collaborative practices as a response to the needs of the communities, towards the installation of knowledge and spaces for critical thinking, activating new transcultural subjectivities as a decolonization of dominant thinking. They carry out research, production and action processes in both geographical and symbolic territories, using agitprop, counter-advertising and visibilization or communication guerrilla, in critical devices that question aesthetic and political narratives.
