RESPIRA  CONSPIRA

␣␣␣␣␣␣ tudo  que ␣␣␣␣␣␣␣ ␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣ -­  Paulo  Leminski            Conspire:   From   Latin   Conspirare;;   to   act   in   harmony,   conspire,   equivalent   to   con   +   spirare;;   to   breathe:   breathing   together.

          Conspiring  often  has  a  negative  connotation;;  a  strategic  game  in  the  shadows,  an  alliance  to  plot  against  another   power  or  person.  But  it  can  also  be  interpreted  as  coming  close  together  to  sharpen  the  senses,  to  be  more  attentive   to  the  other’s  signals  and  thoughts;;  lowered  voices  breathing  the  same  air.            RESPIRA  CONSPIRA  is  an  ␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣  initiated  by  Camilla  Rocha  Campos  and  Thora  Dolven  Balke,  both  2016   residents   of   Capacete,   concerning   the   practice   of   thinking   together   –   with   the   aim   to   create   moments   of   action,   ␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣␣ movements  to  change  a  given  situation.
