A public talk by Valentina Desideri discussing the edition of the Sensing Salon commissioned for “Cosmopolis #2.0”.

Program presented on 12 December 2019 at the Centre Pompidou as part of the exhibition Cosmopolis #2: rethinking the human.

For the podcast Dito e Feito#18 edited and commissioned by Teatro Barrio Alto in Lisbon, we were joined by Mamadou Ba, an anti-racism militant, anti-colonialist and leader of SOS Racism for a reading asking the question: What is this political moment?

In this podcast, recorded a few days after the anti-racist demonstrations in honour of George Floyd, on the 6th of June in Lisbon, Mamadou Ba draws from his experience with the Covid 19: Immediate Response Anti-Racism Campaign which has been acting, among others, in Lisbon’s peripheral neighbourhoods, in order to reflect on vulnerability, strength, solidarity, change. The reading is in Portuguese only.

A performed, open, public conversation about how we might think politics from the position of intuition departing from our question:

How to Image an Ethics with/out the Subject?

Performed at The Tramway for Arika Ep. 7: We Cannot Live Without Our Lives (2015)
