Pandemic Manifestos
The MITsp and the n-1 editions will cause a pandemic in the streets of São Paulo. The texts of the Pandemia series, shaped in the traditional Cordel format, are filled with theoretical, political, philosophical and ecological provocations and will be performed by 11 actors – triggers for uprising and upcoming insurgencies. The zero point of dissemination is the center of the city, but at every boundary, north, south, east, and west, other outbreaks will emerge – a networked pandemic that spreads to break the existing consensus and the paralysis of thought, attacking what they claim to be our only present.
