Carballo Interplay
Digital contents festival
XIII Edición

The trade of content creation is complicated. The Internet, social networks, the media and cultural spaces are always asking for new products, causing many creators to live with frustration the incongruity of making a speech around criticism of capitalism and hyperproductivity while being their worst bosses. Can you live from creation without self-exploitation? Are our best hours of the day – and of life – occupied by work? To discuss this topic, we have Juana Dolores, Christo Casas and Puto Mikel, three anti-capitalist thinkers and creators, specialists in fields as diverse as journalism, archaeology or dramatic arts with extensive experience on the internet and in cultural spaces.

With an increasingly hostile internet and an increase in the reactionary movement of the far-right, misogynistic and racist, it is more important than ever to communicate in diversity. It is the responsibility of spaces like Carballo Interplay to help disseminate the discourses of creators who seek to defend the rights of all. We want to listen to them and know how to help improve spaces for debate, how to educate in an egalitarian way and correct our prejudices. To do this, we want to have some of the most relevant creators and communicators who currently exist in the fight against racism and gypsyphobia such as Chaimaa Boukharsa, Lucía Mbomío, Voria Stefanovsky and “Guru” Jiménez, with Antonio Grunfeld, from AGARESO, as moderator.

In this edition we want to claim more than ever the Galician language and the people who decide to use and defend it in their day to day life, and within those people, both paleo-speakers and neo-speakers, we find interesting cases like that of Andy Chichester, an American professor who decided to learn Galician language and started using it on his social networks, winning the affection of the Galician internet community.

His commitment to our culture, despite not having any previous closeness, is one of the topics we want to talk about with Andy, who will travel from New York to Carballo to put his knowledge into practice and reflect on the role of language in our lives. All in a conversation in which he will be accompanied by the actor Federico Pérez.
