Two meetings to review and discuss the writings of Martha Rosler, coordinated by Valeria Gruschetsky and Ana Gomez Pintusa, in the context of the exhibition "Puede que esta vez sea diferente", for which a free public reference library with feminist content was created.
Based on some key concepts from Martha Rosler's book "Clase Cultural. Arte y gentrificación", Caja Negra Editora, 2017, will review the problems posed by the author around what is urban, how it is constructed in relation to art and politics; concepts such as "gentrification" will be discussed in order to think about the spaces of our city - Buenos Aires - having as a central axis her critical view on some ideas that Richard Florida proposes as "urban marketing".
Registration: Muntrefcaceducacion@untref.edu.ar
