Elena Ramirez Gonzales (Spain) Elena’s project consists of creating a drag king workshop, addressed to any person regardless of their sex, gender identity or sexual orientation. It is a drag king workshop because inside drag practice, it is still invisible and today there are lack of spaces where you can find it. The goal of the project, from one side is to provide tools to learn to transform into drag king, empowering the participants through this learning process; and specially the lesbian collective. On the other side, it pursues a more general or global goal: generating a space of collective reflection about gender and power in society.
Javier Esteves (Denmark) Argentinian entrepreneur living in Aarhus, Denmark, has engaged into a social project called ”The New Creative Tenants”, where a group of 12 homeless Danish youngsters will start living in a cultural center called UngdomsKulturHus (UKH), as part of an experiment for social inclusion. Throughout this process, the main idea is to sort things out when it comes to the guidelines and space availability of the house, with an agenda of both active and possible projects for the new tenants to be aware of this right away. Javier hope that one thing that will change for sure, is the perception that a large part of the population has in regards of the capacity and deliverables that a cultural hub have.
Dídac Espí Vallvé (Spain) The idea of the Didi’s project called: “Hand made Sound System” came about together with his mate, in a mental all night rave in a squat in Sant Andreu del Palomar during the summer. The aim is to create a youth movement in the city. All the same, the essence and main objectives of the project are the self-direction and sustainability – creating the speakers with our own hands, to build up an alternative youth recreation, to promote young artists and to create support network between social organizations in the city.
