Fervent Manifesto by Mercedes Villalba

£12.00

Mercedes Villalba's Fervent Manifesto is a call to meet and ferment in both metaphorical and material ways, a handbook to have on hand to initiate fermentations. Villalba invites us to cultivate the future, to imagine other modes of production and relationships, to disarticulate and dismantle our capitalist logics and modes of perception.

Originally written for The Plant magazine, this bilingual edition includes a Spanish translation. Fervent Manifesto is the first issue of the A Sketch For The Future collection: a collection of publications inspired by Muriel Cooper addressing urgent issues on how to inhabit our future.

Fervent Manifesto has 32 pages and it fits in a pocket (size: 11 x 8,5 cm). It’s printed in Riso and published by Calipso Press.
