Auto do CEO

Friday 6 November – Saturday 7 November

Rua das Gaivotas 6, Lisbon

We start from a personal feeling of powerlessness: we conclude that the persistence of capitalism, as a structural mechanism of violence and sacrifice, is resistant to criticism and that, in fact, it feeds on it. Critical thinking as a response does not work; it accumulates without producing change. From this accumulation we propose a search for inversion, for restitution, for symbolic action that can break the cycle of violence and reverse the sacrificial logic of capitalism. Auto do CEO positions itself as an allegory that seeks to re-establish an ancestral logic of exchange, a CEO for a post-capitalist future. And only in the attempt may we perhaps find an answer.
