SUMMARY:Acid Communism
DESCRIPTION:The Barber Shop presents: Acid Communism\, thinking about the common from Mark Fisher\nAt the exhibition Avenida 211: An Artists’ Space in Lisbon \n  \nIn this session dedicated to Mark Fisher’s Acid Communism\, the project space The Barber Shop revisits one of the central theorists of its programme through lectures by Aleksandra Odette Kypriotaki and Miguel Cardoso\, and a sound performance by Polido. \nMark Fisher (1968–2017) was a British cultural theorist\, author\, prolific blogger (known as K-Punk)\, and lecturer in Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths University\, London. Also a former member of the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit (CCRU) and the founder of Zero Books\, he is known for his influential work on neoliberalism\, music\, and mental health\, most notably in his books Capitalist Realism\, Ghosts of My Life\, and The Weird and the Eerie.  \nMark Fisher’s legacy marked a generation of writers and theorists\, and his unfinished book project Acid Communism aims to revive the utopian potential of psychedelic counterculture to imagine a future beyond capitalist realism. It proposes fusing class consciousness with psychedelic consciousness to break with capitalist\, neoliberal\, and patriarchal regimes\, and in doing so it keeps inspiring new horizons for collectivity. \nThis event is curated by Margarida Mendes\, director of The Barber Shop (2009–2016)\, a project space dedicated to transdisciplinary artistic research originally located in the Avenida 211 building. \nFor about seven years\, The Barber Shop project space hosted artists\, philosophers\, musicians\, and curators to present their investigations in an intimate and exploratory way. It functioned as a small cultural embassy\, ​​opening doors to contemporary discourses on art society\, and stimulating intersectional dialogue about the conditions of the world. \n  \nConversation in English.  \n  \n💻 Free admission with prior registration through the form or servico.educativo.museu@ccb.pt.
