invita a la inauguración de una nueva muestra 

Gráfica del anarquismo argentino (1893-1939) 

El anarquismo, como todos los grandes movimientos emancipatorios, necesitó para expandirse por el globo tanto de las ideas de opresión humana y de redención social como de imágenes capaces de comunicarlas masivamente.

Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are transforming our societies, our governments, and other political systems, at a remarkable speed. Government departments are seeing the importance of ensuring services which are delivered electronically. Political parties are increasingly using ICT in their political processes. Despite this fact, we find a Dialogue of the Deaf (as John Harvey-Jones named it) between politicians and the ICT community.

Made by children. Child labour then and now.
20/11/2016 – 07/01/2018

Children are supposed to play and go to school. Only adults are expected to work and earn money. End of discussion. Or not?

If you thought that these days child labour is something that only occurs in ‘the South’, you are mistaken. Despite the introduction of compulsory education in Belgium in 1914 and the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989, child labour is still the subject of controversy worldwide.

2017 will mark the centenary of the Russian February and October revolutions. Few events in the twentieth century at the same time evoked such indignation and such admiration. The Russian Revolution remained a source of controversy and inspiration in the period after 1917, marked by military interventions and civil war, hunger, social experiments and political repression. This symposium deals with the reception of the revolution and its aftermath in the Netherlands and the Dutch empire.
