Support A*Desk

A*DESK has been offering since 2002 contents about criticism and contemporary art. A*DESK has become consolidated thanks to all those who have believed in the project, all those who have followed us, debating, participating and collaborating. Many people have collaborated with A*DESK, and continue to do so. Their efforts, knowledge and belief in the project are what make it grow internationally. At A*DESK we have also generated work for over one hundred professionals in culture, from small collaborations with reviews and classes, to more prolonged and intense collaborations.

At A*DESK we believe in the need for free and universal access to culture and knowledge. We want to carry on being independent, remaining open to more ideas and opinions. If you believe in A*DESK, we need your backing to be able to continue. You can now participate in the project by supporting it. You can choose how much you want to contribute to the project.

Crapulismo Ilustrado – Autor/a en A*Desk

Crapulismo Ilustrado is an interdisciplinary, theoretical-critical, polyhedral and expansive disturbance project activated in 2016, which investigates dissidence, sexualities and protest in all its formats and possibilities. Inspired by Jean Genet’s experiences in Barcelona’s once xino neighbourhood, now Raval, it seeks the revolutionary potential of art and situated knowledge. Through drag (king/queer) performances, it aims to be a post-pornographic utopian exercise in protest and change in sexual, political and social activism. The project includes artefacts that blend artistic creation, theory and direct political action, contributing to a mutant anarchive on the Xino neighbourhood to revitalise its collective resistance to the erasure of history and minority memories.
