WORKSHOP The Manifesto in the21st Century - From Art to Politics to Therapy The Indeterminacy Festival University of Malta Concordia University University of Buffalo April 25, 2022 11:00 – 2:00 pm EST DOI: 10.13140/RG.2.2.10421.96481 * Vincenzo Di Nicola // “The Manifesto in the 21st Century: From Art to Politics to Therapy” Since the 19th century, the manifesto has been a vehicle for protest in the form of an announcement – a manifesto – literally, a “showing” from the Italian – implicitly or explicitly of a rupture/hiatus and a call for change. We will explore the manifesto in art (Marinetti’s Futurist Manifesto), in politics (Marx & Engels’ Communist Manifesto vs. Mussolini’s Fascist Manifesto), and in culture (Di Nicola’s Slow Thought Manifesto) and therapy (Di Nicola’s Slow Psychiatry/Therapy) in the spirit of community and conviviality (Illich). In tandem with these explorations, participants will be tasked with writing their own manifesto to be shared by the end of the week.
