Creating Galician content for social media: a conscious decision or an act of faith? In this conversation, Prado Rúa and Konachadas discuss algorithms, hate, opportunities, and why, despite everything, they continue to complain about viral content. An hour to display what little shame they have left and share a bit of gossip.

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to be heard online. Between the overabundance of platforms, convoluted algorithms, bots, and AI, finding quality content created by people and effectively communicated seems almost impossible. Amidst this chaos, some particularly skilled content creators stand out, managing to convey their areas of expertise with a unique voice.

In this first talk on Saturday, we want to speak with some of them to find out how to achieve widespread awareness in times of attention deficit. They will be Kenya Stéphanie, Helio Roque, Autoenfoque, and Pablo Lluch.

Although we have always been INTERNET LOVERS, there is an internet that we still don’t like. The darker, more hostile or violent one, which directly affects mental health and participation in networks. And that makes many people abandon the spaces they occupy for their transformation.

Therefore, in this edition, we’ve included a special activity with two professionals and experts in this internet we love so much, who will embark on an audiovisual journey through their relationship with social networks. They will explore, from their own experiences, how we communicate and create, from the earliest online communities, through a more open internet, to what we have today: small escape routes, small doors, or almost intimate and closed spaces for a small group of friends where people connect in today’s digital ecosystem. A small internet.

We are part of an internet that looks to the past to understand itself, that embraces the present to avoid disappearing, and that fearlessly asks about the future. An internet that materializes, once again, in the streets of Carballo, transforming the town into a meeting point for some of the most interesting voices in the current digital landscape.

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.

In this Interplay edition Lucas Costas, one of the members of MUVI, will claim the video game as a means of communication, expression and creation, as well as an educational tool in the broadest sense of the word, in a panel in which he will also review its history in our community, focusing on The Wall, the first commercial video game in Galicia.

In 2021, the Radio Vigo Twitter account asked its followers which artist should compose the Celta centenary anthem. The options it gave were four, Iván Ferreiro, Siniestro Total, Carlos Núñez and Eladio, but no one expected that C. Tangana, an internationally renowned artist, would decide to volunteer.

No Carballo Interplay cremos que na internet se poden crear grandes cousas: dende medios de comunicación que van máis alá do mainstream para aportar novos puntos de vista ata centros de producción de saberes completamente gratuitos e abertos a todo o mundo.

Aínda que concibimos e queremos unha rede para compartir, coidar, rir, apoiar e aprender, ás veces, como reflexo da sociedade na que vivimos, tamén pode ser un lugar moi hostil para minorías sociais ou albergar unha chea de discursos de odio, fascistas ou machirulos. “Amiga, yo te cuento” é un espazo seguro para falar de como navegar e fulminar esas hostilidades e seguir sendo e opinando ata que non existan esas barreiras. Un sitio no que poder reflexionar sobre os fenómenos culturais que nos gustan sen prexuízos, dende o presente ou dende a nostalxia.

Porque as nosas ponentes de “Amiga, yo te cuento” falan cinco segundos e son capaces de deixarche pensando horas. Poucas persoas máis guais atoparedes na rede, PROMETIDO.

A creadora cultural María Yáñez proporá en directo, a través da súa experiencia persoal, unha viaxe desde os inicios da internet galega ata as portas da chegada das redes sociais. Un repaso a como chegaron as primeiras conexións nos anos 90, as primeiras webs en galego, os primeiros medios dixitais, as primeiras plataformas sociais de contido, que naceron desde abaixo, colectivamente e con dúas motivacións principais: a lúdica e a activista.

No Carballo Interplay queremos poñer o foco no traballo de persoas que utilizan as posibilidades da rede para amosar outras realidades ou facer do mundo online un lugar máis habitable dende o humor, a divulgación, a arte… e todo o que se lles poña polo camiño. Non perdades esta conversa cun auténtico dream team: a xornalista Nerea Pérez de las Heras, a historiadora Eugenia Tenenbaum e cómica Ana Polo.

Como divulgar dende a rede? É internet agora o xeito de chegar a grandes públicos? Como xestionar as críticas? Hai espazo para os discursos que se saen da norma? Como lidiar co pinkwashing e as trampas do capitalismo? Agárdannos moitas preguntas e, sobre todo, moito palique.

Internet has left the screens to permeate every detail of our lives. We talk about the Internet (and sometimes LIKE the Internet), we write about the Internet, we think about the Internet. We make t-shirts with memes, we publish books about them, we sell stickers… Do we print the internet? Are we afraid that digital will disappear? For this panel we have meme and digital content creatos, as well as analysts and curators who are experts in these trends.

With Álvaro L. Pajares, Marina G. Canedo, Rafa López and Ainhoa ​​Marzol.

Generations X and Z want to talk about politics in their homes, with their friends, with their affairs, and, of course, also in the internet. In an increasingly polarized social context, increasing young voices build links and work on alternatives from the digital sphere. Activist, feminist, decolonial and anti-fascist voices from Galicia and other parts of Spain that seek to demonstrate that young people want to make this world better. Questioning what is established to build positively.

With Iván Iglesias (OU ké!), Carretando, Alan Barroso, Sergio Gregori, Ayme and Marina Lobo.
