🧡 At Goteo we believe that every contribution counts, that culture can heal, that memory can resist, and that cooperation is the most powerful tool to build the world we want. This May we present you three campaigns that, from different places, defend the common, the collective and the human. They are festivals, spaces and experiences that fight against oblivion, stigma and precariousness with creativity, care and community.

🤗 When you support these projects, you don't just give, you build: a freer culture, a stronger fabric, a present with a shared future. Here we present them to you:

L'Altre Festival: performing arts to inhabit other skins.

📅 From May 30 to June 1, more than 4,000 people will gather at the Fabra i Coats venue (Barcelona) to live a unique experience: a festival that crosses performing arts and mental health, breaking down stigmas and celebrating diversity.

🎭 L'Altre Festival is a meeting place for artists with and without experience in mental health, professionals and amateurs, in a vibrant program of theater, dance, music, poetry and circus. All with an accessible, inclusive and deeply human approach.

👉🏼 With 11 editions behind it and a team of more than 50 volunteers, this project is committed to living well, to a culture that cares and transforms. Your support will allow us to continue opening doors, bodies and scenarios. Will you join us? Donate here

16/2 Festival: Super 8 cinema is back on fire.

🎞 In the era of infinite digital content, the 16/2 Festival bets on the unrepeatable charm of analog cinema. In the Sierra Oeste de Madrid, 21 artists will create Super 8 films without editing or previewing. On the day of the screening, not even those who have created them will know what will be seen on screen. Everything will be surprise, emotion and live sound.

🎥 In addition, any attendee will be able to screen old family films in the Piccolo Ricordo section, making the festival a true ritual of memory and community.

🙌🏼 Behind this initiative is the Cajabaja cultural cooperative, which is committed to a festive, accessible and unique visual experience. Help this festival live and revive a format that refuses to disappear. Participate here.

La Pantera Rossa: a bookstore that resists with you.

📚 For 14 years, La Pantera Rossa has been more than a bookstore in Zaragoza: it is a cultural refuge, a social center, a space for critical thinking and creative resistance. It works as a self-managed cooperative and is an active part of the social and solidarity economy.

💸 But sustaining this alternative model is not easy. Today, La Pantera needs support to cover a debt with friendly distributors, pay outstanding payroll and stabilize its fragile economy after significant investments to improve its premises. This campaign is a call to heal its base and prepare to continue building critical community from the books.

✊🏽 Your support is more than economic: it is a gesture of complicity with a project that refuses to give in to the logic of the market. La Pantera does not want to exist without you. Would you lend a hand? Donate here.

✨ Your donation is not just financial support. It is living culture, it is free cinema, it is community.
