L'occasione

On the 8th of December, Iratxe Jaio and Klaas van Gorkum will talk in L’occasione about their experiences in Occupy Amsterdam, where they initiated a kind of "Truth Commission" in the camp. Through a series of hearings, fellow Occupiers were questioned one by one about the ethical dilemmas they encountered while maintaining order on the square, in relation to the shared ideal of a radical, participatory democracy. Their experiences in the camp will serve, on the one hand, as a starting point for a critical reflection on the group dynamics that lead a community towards and astray from consensus and principles of equality. On the other, as a case study for the role that artists may play in these processes, using the methodology of the cross-examination and the trial as artistic instruments.*L’occasione* is a new series of public meetings organized by a group of three friends, Aimar Arriola, Jesús Arpal-Moya and Susana Talayero, at the home of one of them in Bilbao, Basque Country. *L’occasione* has a temporary nature and will run for about a year, at the pace of the visits that come and go.
