CALDODECULTIVO is an art collective formed by Unai Reglero and Gabriela Córdoba Vivas, and it is currently based in Buffalo, New York.
CALDODECULTIVO, as its name in Spanish suggests [1], creates conditions of possibility where collective action and resistance can emerge and thrive. CALDODECULTIVO functions as a (counter) propaganda bureau, combating the mechanisms through which the violence of capital is hidden and justified. CALDODECULTIVO creates counter-information, provocation, and popular agitation devices to amplify the struggles of those who resist that violence and create the possibilities of a future otherwise.
Among other recognitions, CALDODECULTIVO has been nominated for the Vera List Prize for Art and Politics,
