The “Punto de Encuentro” Festival has been organized by the AMEE since 1990. This edition presents a series of workshops, talks and performances, in continuity with the “En Red” 10th Symposium held in 2018 in Medialab-Prado, focused on the subject of voice in poetry, cinema and experimental music.

The development of voice as an artistic research field brings up questions regarding the notion of ‘vocal agency’: a certain politics of voice, vocality and intervocality. This includes discussing and reflecting upon ways of speaking and how different uses and conceptions of voice favor certain

With the intention of reflecting on the Universal Basic Income, ATTAC and Medialab Prado invite us to participate in an open conversation among citizens on June 1st at the Medialab Auditorium.

Su investigación plantea un acercamiento a la idea del aire como sujeto político cuestionando el modo en el que su representación, estetizada y romantizada, ha contaminado el imaginario colectivo. Los atardeceres digitales que nos han acompañado cada ocaso desde el 23 de abril, culminan el 25 de mayo con esta mesa redonda para reflexionar en común y hablar del aire con una nueva perspectiva.

This includes reflecting upon different forms of acoustic practices, from self-organized dance clubs to silent protests conducted against economic injustices to fostering affective economies of domestic life.
