Landscapes After the Catharsi. By Iván de la Nuez

Opening address by Iván de la Nuez (Havana, Cuba, 1964). Essayist, critic and curator residing in Barcelona. He is the director of this series of conferences. 

Three decades after the boring liberal future prophesied by Francis Fukuyama, posthistory has passed into the annals of history. This truth forces us to acknowledge that the euphemisms we have used during this time in a bid to bail out the boat have been of little use. Among other reasons because following the successive collapses of communism and social democracy, the department of demolitions is now seriously turning its attention to that liberalism, as happy as it is fallacious, sold to us thirty years ago as the ineffable bridge to eternity.
