Dal 14 al 16 febbraio il Teatro Valle Occupato sarà a Zagabria – insieme a Macao e Sale D.o.c.k.s. – per una  conferenza internazionale che discuterà la relazione tra cultura, commons e nuove istituzioni in tempi di crisi economica, politiche europee di austerità e privatizzazioni.

Un’occasione per raccontare una scena italiana agitata e rivitalizzata da spazi occupati, esperienze culturali autogestite e indipendenti, lotte di lavorat* della cultura, nuove produzioni artistiche, esperimenti di autogoverno e economie autogestite.

Nell’assenza totale di politiche culturali e delle istituzioni, la cultura in Italia OCCUPA, AUTOGOVERNA, RI-CREA IMMAGINAZIONE e SOCIALITA’.

Il meeting internazionale è parte di un programma di scambio tra attivisti, artisti e operatori supportato da European Cultural Foundation che quest’anno ha premiato il Teatro Valle Occupato e Teodor Celakoski di Pravo na Grad (Zagreb) come realtà più interessanti sul piano politico e artistico. Sull’esperienza di lotta di Pravo na Grad leggi l’articolo di Subversive Urbanism.
