LatinoPunk Manifesto
The post-colonial groups find themselves at a crossroads in the present, as technocracy rises deeply rooted in the anglo culture (NPL automation builds it's code and meta-languages on the English and Northamerican worldview) we are pushed to engage with it's tools in order to fit in the competence scheme emergent from market behaviour. We are inheritors of fragmented pasts and custodians of memories that defy the erasure imposed by dominant epistemologies. LatinoPunk transcends mere style or genre; it is an ontological stance that reimagines possibility through the confluence of ancestral wisdom, punk defiance, and speculative thought.
We dwell in the liminal spaces between what has been and what might be, asserting our right to envision futures free from the exploitative logics of time and identity. Our existence embodies a temporal paradox: deeply rooted in ancient knowledge while ever-reaching toward horizons uncharted by the architects of hegemonic power.
Chronology of Resistance
The Awakening
The emergence of LatinoPunk as an ontological response to the crisis of Western narratives of progress. Scattered collectives began weaving networks of solidarity and co-creation, marking the first stirrings of a countercultural renaissance.
The Convergence
A seminal transboundary gathering where ritualistic art fused ancestral practices with digital experimentation, establishing new aesthetic paradigms of resistance and redefining the boundaries of cultural expression.
The Blossoming
The crystallization of autonomous communities governed by principles of epistemic, technological, and alimentary sovereignty. These parallel networks emerged as alternatives to the extractivist economic regimes.
