Talk
A public conversation exploring the relationship between artistic practices, inclusion, participation, and the production of counter-archives within cultural institutions, with MANAS Collective — Mutual Support Group.
MANAS: Harm reduction, artivism, and the rights of the Manas. Lisbon, Portugal. From the outset, MANAS has combined artistic practices with harm-reduction strategies and community health initiatives. Through zine-making workshops, body-awareness exercises, storytelling practices, and collective cooking, participants have found pathways towards self-expression and political empowerment. At the same time, harm reduction has remained central to the project’s praxis. At the heart of MANAS lies the principle of “nothing about us without us.” Its mission includes challenging intersectional forms of discrimination based on gender identity, race, class, age, disability, and sexual orientation, whilst building solidarity through a shared political voice..
