Performance, Politics and Digital Activism: the Interventions of the "Colectivo Dominio Público"

Abstract

Since the end of 2015, with the assumption of the new government led by President Mauricio Macri, a return of neoliberal policies has been taking place in Argentina. This situation has boosted the work of various artistic/political collectives that develop different strategies of influence and intervention in the public space, among which the following stand out: "Colectivo Fin de UN MundO", "Proyecto Squatters Contrapublicidad", "Colectivo Dominio Público", "Colectivo Alegría", "Compañía de Funciones Patrióticas", "Emergentes Comunicación", "Colectivo Artístico Intersticial", "Mujeres Públicas" y "Serigrafistas Queer", among others. We intend to approach and analyze the experiences and works of the "Colectivo Dominio Público" (Public Domain Collective), whose productions are carried out at the crossroads between performing arts, communication, "hacktivism" and performance.
