documentation and after

hi all,

with your departure the wheather has changed. it’s not raining, but rather grey. winter has finally set in.

we are still cleaning up and i already feel that it would be a pity to leave the space untouched until the festival in may. i already have saudades… i have to think how we can be present there now and then, without it costing too much effort and money. in any case, during the next alkantara festival the space will be the festival centre.

as far as i know, everybody has left his/her documentary material on the hard disks. could those of you who have documentation materials give me a short description? make a distinction between what you have left on the hard disk of alkantara and what you have taken with you. You can leave these on the blog, under the heading documentation.

thanks a lot to all of you for sharing these weeks with us. it was a great pleasure!

The future is uncertain

THE FUTURE IS UNCERTAIN, Friday 30th, 21.30h

itwillbewhatwemakeit — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 10:07:10 +0000

Looking back from 2019 into the present date (2007) as our past, the artists working within the project IT WILL BE WHAT WE MAKE IT will present a small-scale future study on the possible scenarios for Alkantara.

Alkantara (the former Danças na cidade), moving into a space given by the city of Lisbon, is an event that will determine a change in the course of the development of this organization. Taking for its motto Immanuel Wallerstein’s – “Future is uncertain because it will be what we make it” – this investigation deploys some methods of futurology to devise alternative possible, probable or preferable/desirable futures for Alkantara.

Come to think with us about the following:what has to change in the present so as to enable the futures we desire?

The admission requires a small effort: bring a book, a CD or a DVD you think Alkantara’s library+mediatheque should have.

Friday 30th of November, at 9.30 p.m.
