Cultural proposals for sexual liberation, an escape route in confinement

Zarata mediatikoz beteriko garai nahasiotan, merkatu logiketatik urrun eta irakurleengandik gertu dagoen kazetaritza beharrezkoa dela uste baduzu, ARGIA bultzatzera animatu nahi zaitugu. Geroz eta gehiago gara, jarrai dezagun txikitik eragiten.

The group proposes “an exceptional solution to this exceptional situation caused by COVID-19”: The leaflet has been published in PDF format and if we click on most of the contents, the link opens with more information. Articles, books, fanzines, music, films, documentaries, series, websites, creators, actors and relevant dates have been some of the contents of this volume.

“In the present state of lockdown, that liberating refuge of many has disappeared and have had to return to the ‘hell’ of the house. Many people have been forced to return to their homes where their identity is not tolerated. For them it's especially Pozoi Larroxa. To poison the unjust and oppressive society, with resources and motivations to rebel.”

Normality no, please

In fact, the collective sees it necessary to open the poison to reverse the current situation, but not to return to normal, since “we have never been normal. And what we want is that it's abnormality. The former normality was nothing like our conception of the world. Before COVID19 there was precariousness, there was control, there was authoritarianism, there was death centered on the economy, there was individualism, there was machist violence, there was LGBT phobia. And all of this has intensified in these times.”

After the series of recommendations, readers appeal to share and nurture this collective work.
