Proposal

.

During his residency at Casa Tres Patios, The Fire Theory collective will hold a meeting for the socialization and analysis of conceptual art tools that can be used to redefine communication strategies, visibility and rapprochement of different social movements and their struggles. Through the creation of a manual and video tutorials, the group will provide conceptual tools and visibility strategies that can be used by social movements in different latitudes.
