Maurizio Lazzarato

In connection to the exhibition ‘Crossings’ by Angela Melitopoulos at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, experience a talk with Maurizio Lazzarato about the neo-fascist wave that the planet is going through, starting with the election of Bolsonaro in Brazil.

The lecture by Maurizio Lazzarato expands on another chapter of Kunsthal Charlottenborg ‘Crossings’ by Angela Melitopoulos – focusing on Latin America

Maurizio Lazzarato and Angela Melitopoulos’ introcuktion to the talk:

The election of Bolsonaro in Brazil immediately brings us back to the political birth of neo-liberalism that occurred in Chile after the massacre of the socialist “revolution” and the assassination of
Allende. In the fascist government announced by Bolsonaro, there are generals and ultra-liberals from the Chicago School. What does this alliance of war and the economy tell us about our time? This is another chapter of the same policies that we have analyzed in the
installation work Crossings, in that the arrangement of the debt war, the war against migrants and ecological warfare are overlapping.

Maurizio Lazzarato is an Italian sociologist and philosopher who has worked closely with Angela Melitopoulos since 1989.

The admission is free and everyone are welcome.The talk will be in English.
