Bureau d'études
“This work, entitled Crisis functions as a chronology of the world financial system in the 1990s. It attempts to situate the Argentinean revolt within the general framework of a worldwide economic cycle – essentially the period of so-called globalization, from 1989 onward. In the lower third of this long, lateral graphic chart, you see three horizontal axes corresponding to events within the three great currency zones of the Yen, the Euro and the Dollar, with a special bar devoted to the management of the IMF, above, and a line showing the frequencies of so-called “payment incidents,” or delays in the reimbursement of the Argentinean debt, below – a line which also serves to mark political events such as the election of Menem in 1989. The middle section of the chart widens the focus to look at strikes and riots against privatization processes across the entire world, in the year 2002.
[It wasn't really our choice but Daphne Dragona's, the workshop curator. But] indeed we thought it was very pertinent because of the political tension in the city these days, that makes more relevant the issues we are trying to think about during the workshop. 2. How is the production in the workshop linked to what is produced on the street at the time when the workshop is taking place (for example demonstrations, clashes, tear gas, demands, collective actions)?

Cartografía Ciudadana
Proyecto surgido en el seno del proceso colectivo que emerge de Indymedia Estrecho, es un proyecto político comunicativo que tiene la paradoja de partida de querer situarse más allá de una ciudad, de las fronteras y la división de los Estados nación. Hacer una cartografía de un territorio otro, de una zona fronteriza de gran importancia estratégica, donde conviven procesos sociales de grandísima intensidad y violencia, resultaba una herramienta necesaria para orientarnos en nuestra práctica. El mapa permitió hacer un inventario de saberes de redes sociales amplias y diversas y ponerlos en común, socializarlos. En el proceso participaron desde el principio actores diversos: redes de movimientos sociales y activistas, agentes comunicativos y personas de las dos orillas.
