Cultural Institute (project)

At this ephemeral Cultural Institute we want to create the conditions for interrogating the semantic cloud of "exploration" that both mirrors and reinvents the rhetoric of colonialism, where knowledge and its civilizatory benefits are employing their unique blend of violence, justifying the extraction of resources and the oppression of others. Through improvisation, performances and experiments we want to expand our vocabulary in order to address the planetary wave of techno-colonialism that is currently being acted out on the territory of the cultural archive, with a special focus on the activities of The Google Cultural Institute.
