[vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/6″][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text][\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]On Saturday, November 21, the Ateneu Popular de Nou Barris (Barcelona) will host the second edition of ESCAC I MAT: Social Forum on Narratives Against the Far Right<\/strong>\u2014an event organized by NOVACT to share analyses, forge alliances, and develop collective strategies in response to the rise of the far right and the current reactionary wave.<\/p>\n

The far right is gaining ground within a context defined by growing inequality, precarious living conditions, difficulties in accessing housing, and a lack of future prospects in the face of the climate emergency. Globally, the escalation of conflicts and the spread of militarism further contribute to a landscape of uncertainty and the erosion of rights.<\/p>\n

In this context, social discontent is increasingly being capitalized upon by reactionary discourses, which target vulnerable groups and call rights and freedoms into question. Faced with this reality, it is necessary to strengthen responses from civil society and social movements\u2014connecting struggles and building alternatives that address the material needs of the social majority.<\/p>\n

From Narratives to Collective Action<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first edition of ESCAC I MAT, held in 2025, focused on analyzing hate narratives and disinformation, as well as the need to construct inclusive and hopeful discourses to challenge the hegemony of the far right.<\/p>\n

This second edition aims to go a step further: moving from analysis to action. Under the theme “Let\u2019s Disrupt the Game!”, the forum seeks to create a space for dialogue to identify shared challenges, pool experiences, and drive strategies capable of reconnecting civil society and social movements with the material demands of the majority.<\/p>\n

The goal is to move toward a proactive political agenda that enables confronting the far right through collective organization, anti-racism, the defense of social rights, and the construction of alternative narratives.<\/p>\n

A day to share tools and make a move<\/strong><\/p>\n

The event will begin with the inspiring conversation “Unlocking the Game: From Analysis to the Offensive,” featuring journalist Laura Aznar<\/strong> and communicator Albert Lloreta.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Next, various group discussion spaces will be opened to address issues such as the development of an anti-racist agenda\u2014with Victoria Columba,<\/strong> spokesperson for Regularizaci\u00f3n Ya<\/strong>\u2014and the defense of the right to housing\u2014with the Sindicat de Llogateres.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The program will continue with two simultaneous workshops: “Anatomy of a Lie: Tools for Deconstructing Narratives,” led by Albert Alexandre<\/strong> from La Directa<\/strong>, and “Humor and Gender as Battlegrounds,” hosted by drag artist Sara Brown<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The event will conclude with a vermuth and a monologue titled “El Multiverso” by Wiz Problema<\/strong>, serving as a space for gathering and a final wrap-up.<\/p>\n
