Poetic Antidotes
Poetic Antidotes is a term coined by Virginia Vigliar to describe manifestations of joy and beauty in a context of polical awareness.
In events organized by Poetic Antidotes we are allowed to breathe, think, rest, to live joyfully and beautifully whilst still being aware of the systemic oppressions that inhabit our bodies and our environments, and this is the place where we learn to decondition them We use poetry, art and cultural criticism to observe the systems that oppress us and colonise our minds and bodies. Here, we decolonise and decondition joyfully and beautifully.
Most events are worshops centering dialogue, embodiment, or artistic expression and they are all developed from the essays of this newsletter: https://virginiavigliar.substack.com/
