Baravalle presents his book 'The Battleground of Art: Radical Curating in the Crisis of Neoliberalism' and his concept of 'radical permanence', drawn from two decades of art activism with Sale Docks, an autonomous collective in Venice. It opposes the neoliberal regime of mobility of artists and art workers through self-management, social rootedness and resistance, linking struggles against artwashing, gentrification and labour precarisation.
