The open version of Concomitentes‘ first book ’Mutaciones en el espacio público' is now available.’
Launched in 2021, together with Bartlebooth Publishers, the publication seeks to (re)think the way we relate to each other after the pandemic.
The first book of Concomitentes ‘Mutations in public space’ will be launched in July 2021, together with the Bartlebooth publishers, with the aim of (re)configuring and (re)thinking material and sensitive relations based on the changes and challenges posed by the pandemic. The publication was co-published by Sören Meschede y Fran Quiroga.
This call for thought was approached with a survey to gather a social perception of the alterations brought about by the disease, the crisis, the fear of contagion in the pandemic context. Then, on the basis of a co-authored work, in which various firms were invited, among which the following stand out Haizea Barcenilla, Leticia Sabsay, Athena Athanasiou, Eneas Bernal o Amador Fernández Savater, In this way, the pandemic has constrained public space, and this has brought to light political processes that were already being foreshadowed in recent decades: the growing normativisation of space, social inequality, distrust of the other, the dismantling of public or community initiatives or the desire for immediacy have been revealed more starkly in the last few years.
‘Mutaciones en el espacio público’ was presented three years ago as a bid to reconfigure the relationships of our present but, above all, as an invitation to recover the joy of continuing to build together.
