Spisateljica i kreatorka “zinova”*, specifičnih samizdat formata, Bronvin Moldin (Bronwyn Mauldin) je autorka “Serije demokratija” (The Democracy Series), kolekcije ručno rađenih publikacija koje istražuju značenje i praksu demokratije u savremenom američkom životu. Bronvin će u razgovoru predstaviti svoje umetničko bavljenje demokratijom, od prvog romana “Ljubavne pesme revolucije” (Love Songs of the Revolution), preko kreriranja serije samizdata/zinova, do rada sa aktivističkom grupom Umetnici za demokratiju (Artists 4 Democracy), i konačno do pokretanja Instituta za analizu teorije zavere sa Melisom Vol (Mellisa Wall; Institute for Conspiracy Theory Analysis). Takođe će predstaviti neke od društveno angažovanih umetničkih intervencija koje se trenutno razvijaju u Institutu za analizu teorije zavere.

Kratku prozu Bronvin objavili su Akashic Books, CutBank, Literature for Life, Coffin Factori, Gold Man Review, Tusculum Review i dadaistička antologija Maintenant. Njena poezija je objavljena u Watchung Review, The Typescript i Fire and Rain: Ecopoetry of California. Bila je spisateljica u rezidenciji u Nacionalnom parku Mesa Verde u Koloradu i Nacionalnom parku Denali na Aljasci.

Razgovor će moderirati Nađa Bobičić iz "Pobunjenih čitateljki" a specijalne gošće na prezentaciji biće Ana Adamović i Milica Pekić iz NVO Kiosk, autorke projekta "Izvođenje demokratije".

*Zine (eng) kao skraćenica od magazine, slično samizdat publikacijama, prave se i distribuiraju nezavisno, obično od strane pojedinaca ili malih kolektiva. Često pokrivaju društvene ili političke teme i perspektive koje ne pokrivaju izdavači mejnstrim časopisa,

NAPOMENA u vezi naslova: CON-SPIRE, izvorno značenje na latinskom je "disati zajedno"; SPIRE, osim “disati” može da znači i "šaputati"

NOTE: “… there is the etymology of “conspiracy” where “to conspire” is derived from the Latin roots con (with) and spirare (to breathe)—“to breathe together.” The latter phrase, as philosopher David Coady insightfully notes, implies whispering and thus, the act of “breathing together” becomes a coordinated effort of plotting for some particular purpose (Coady, 2006: 1)...” (cited from NARRATIVE CONSPIRACY THEORIZING, FLUIDITY OF TRUTH, AND SOCIAL MEDIA STORYTELLING IN THE POSTTRUTH AGE, by Sorokin Siim).
