01 MAY — 11 MAY 2024

The importance of the concept of precarious is linked to the class of the “badly employed” (the exploited, underemployed and temporary workers). But the “precariat” (if we want to unite the concepts of proletariat and precariousness) is everywhere, an immense labour force on a global scale, defined by an idea of tenuous connection with the conditions that contemporary capitalism demands, underlining the way in which the decline of workers’ protection influences the dignity of those who try to survive in a society where the person is stripped of much of their human identity.

The Prostitutes of Lyon Speak

The oldest profession in the world is perhaps one that operates in the most ruthless way, or perhaps in the most fragile. Here, we go back to 1975, to a moment when the sex workers of Lyon decided to give voice to their conditions, stories and demands.

Otília is a contemporary Atlas, condemned to sustain all the responsibility instilled in her: the visible, her work commitments, and the invisible, her domestic work and caring for her mother.

The Shift

At first nothing seems to load Anna with worries or weights during a short trip, in the company of her dog. But the environment begins to change when entering the supermarket. While viewing the shelves, the displays, she does mental calculations. Until the call.
