OMG TABACALERA Circular economy in urban regeneration

June 5 and 6, 5:00 p.m., room without boss, CSA Tabacalera de Lavapiés

June 9, Autonomous University of Madrid, presentation of results.

Materials, resources, energy; These are the areas in which circularity is usually valued in the economics of building and rebuilding cities. In these sessions, a group of groups around the CSA la Tabacalera de Lavapiés together with the international platform of universities CIVIS will raise questions about the imminent rehabilitation of the building known as the Tabacalera de Lavapiés.

We will attend to these materialistic aspects of the rehabilitation, but not only, also to the cultural power of the implantation of new institutions and to the social and political dimension of the possibility of organization around the process and the surrounding territories.

The materiality of the planned and unplanned works will be one of the poles of the conversation, in which we will also situate the reality of 13 years of popular self-management in the Tabacalera de Lavapiés Self-Managed Social Center, the history of the place and its inhabitants. We will seek common lines of action among everyone who wants to get closer.

We will use English and Spanish during the sessions, trying to make participation possible in both languages.

OMG TABACALERA Economia circular en la regeneración urbana

5 y 6 de junio 17/20h, sala sin jefe, CSA Tabacalera de Lavapiés

9 de junio, Universidad Autónoma de Madrid, presentación de resultados.

Materiales, recursos, energía; estos son los ámbitos en los que se suele valorar la circularidad en la economía de la construcción y reconstrucción de ciudades. En estas sesiones, un grupo de colectivos en torno al CSA la Tabacalera de Lavapiés junto con la plataforma internacional de universidades CIVIS plantearemos cuestiones en torno a la inminente rehabilitación del edificio conocido como la Tabacalera de Lavapiés.

Atenderemos a estos aspectos materialistas de la rehabilitación, pero no solo, también a la potencia cultural de la implantación de nuevas instituciones y a la dimensión social y política de la posibilidad de organización en torno al proceso y a los territorios alrededor.

La materialidad de las obras previstas y no previstas serán uno de los polos de la conversación, en la que también situaremos la realidad de 13 años de autogestión popular en el Centro Social Autogestionado la Tabacalera de Lavapiés, la historia del lugar y sus habitantes. Pretenderemos líneas de acción comunes entre toda persona que quiera acercarse.

Utilizaremos el inglés y el español durante las sesiones, intentando que la participación sea posible en ambas lenguas.

NEW PARADOXES OF THE POLITICS OF CARE 

Both ethics of care and care practices have moved forward during this last crisis. One of the aims of this collective 3-sessions-iteration would be to analyse this new tension among groups whose “care practices” were active from before the Covid-19 turn and also with groups which have been rising during covid. 

We plan to start a conversation among collectives by asking: 

  • who cares and who is cared for? 
  • what needs of “socialising care” (redistributing) are we meeting now? 
  • which tools are we using or building new because of new needs? 
  • how have reconfigured the public language/space/media. 
  • how care is becoming a term of the power, governments, media? 
  • which conflict in our practices are we finding? 
  • which relations we found among our “autonomous” practices of care and the role of the public sector nowadays?
