Concreta 25 proposes itself as a space for reflection on images in their capacity to form relationships that can alter our regimes of visibility. We are interested in exploring our imaginative forces, our poetic and political potential for resistance to create other conditions of possibility within a reality that increasingly feels suffocating. Marie-José Mondzain argues that images, even while being “no big deal,” can introduce a seismic event. Of course, they can distract, align, and inform, but they can also produce a differential perception; organize and open a field for contesting the sensible, developing another phantasmagoria, and creating fictions and forms of desire that generate new ways of community aggregation.
