"Can we be a media and a workshop space?" Tensions between communication and popular education in El Surco del Oeste
Keywords:
popular communication, popular education, collective creation, workshop spaces, collageAbstract
We propose to understand the experience of El Surco del Oeste, a communication and popular education collective that aims to collectively produce communication materials at Centro Cultural y Social El Birri (Santa Fe). We analyzed the workshop spaces held during 2017 and 2018 -in which the collective set out to collectively produce stencils and radio spots- to identify the group and material conditions and the strategies developed. We identify that the tensions that are established between the objective of popular education processes and collective production are constitutive of the experience and explain our particular style of production: collage.
