Abstract

We present a conversation we had with Liliana Di Negro, Magui Lucero and Sandra Mutal, members of the Urbomaquia collective, and Mirta Antonelli, founder and director of the journal Heterotopías in the area of letters of critical discourse studies. The talk focused on the reactivation by Urbomaquia of the artistic intervention "La mesa", on the pedestrian street of Córdoba, on September 20, 2024. In it, we discuss the intersections between art and politics, the strategies of aesthetic intervention in public space and we problematize the effectiveness of artistic devices to break into the current scenario. We invite readers to join the following choral composition that aims to rethink the ways of situating ourselves, from dissident poetics, in the face of the crisis of the present.
