Participation Guild 2025-2026

In the “Party Guild” 2025-2026, we continue to advocate for the redistribution of public capital among the bodies that are excluded from the cultural institution.

We understand mediation in participation as a commitment to putting into practice a possible process of reparation that challenges the structures of violence that permeate our society. We have learned that this work depends on the firm stance of all the people involved in the process and on the search for a network of committed alliances willing to collectivise privileges and administrative obstacles. 

In this cycle we have continued working with young people who have migrated alone, and we are opening dialogues with cis and trans women experiencing homelessness and substance abuse. We believe it is very urgent to create new frameworks for encounter between these communities that live on the street, so that other bonds can potentially be generated beyond the victim-aggressor dichotomy proposed by the system of domination in which we live.

We have decided to focus on the construction of anti-extractivist memory practices for the entire process, taking into account multiple bodies involved in its construction. 

In turn, we participate in the Les Mòniques for Palestine assembly space and make this struggle a fundamental axis for the Guild.

Party on!!!
