Rituals to unbewitch Finance #Occupy |Festival d’Aurillac
Special Agricultural Market
The rituals to break spells of the finance spread in the shape of a temporary occupation where new collective rites take place, aiming at changing our economical system. The public is invited in a place of sharing and experimentation of artistic and witches practices. A place where we are asked to cut symbolically the link, the control of high finance on our lives and on the rural world, so as to find again, here and now, in our daily life, some strength to invent a new world.
To go beyond this state of prevention, of suffocation, requires to break something like bewitchment, like stunned helplessness. These rituals are dedicated to farmers in need, to give them the strength to get to what they can’t even think about, to serenity , to open up new perspectives. Loop-s is an interdisciplinary platform, at the crossroads of art, journalism and social sciences.
Founded in Brussels in 2015, Loop-s carries out artistic and cultural projects in very various contexts, putting together artists, citizens and activists. Désorceler la finance includes the creation of rituals, of participative workshops, of experimental conferences about finance considered through the prism of witchcraft.
