Are we told that everyone deserves a dignified home, but is that really the case? We celebrate a live podcast with six voices reflecting on the importance of bonds and public structures to support people in vulnerable situations against the wave of digital hate.

Currently, 25% of the Catalan population lives in poverty. According to recent data, Spain is actually the European country where there are more tenants at risk of poverty due to rent increases. In this context, instead of valuing social structures and networks of mutual support that provide refuge to people in vulnerable situations, we witness the normalization of the presence and content of hate monetizers on social networks and digital media. Responsibility is placed on individuals and their efforts, and homage is paid to the individual value we generate. Why are we disconnecting from the need for the welfare state to exist? Can we find solutions through care technology? Amidst hate speech, how do we make visible the collaboration networks that contribute to the creation of collective homes?

On May 24th at 6:30 p.m., we address this issue with "A Collective Home: Proposals to Create Refuge Against Aporophobia and Digital Hate" a musically immersive podcast session that coincides with the first episode of the new Radio Canòdrom and the opening of the exhibition "The Home of Absences" by ECAS. Six voices come together to shape a choral narrative around the multiple impacts of poverty materialized through the basic idea of home:

• Pol Andiñach analyzes hate speech in the digital sphere on the Cuellilargo channel;
• Samu Céspedes is a non-binary artist, care worker, and member of Sindillar;
• Mar Vidal accompanies vulnerable people as part of the Secretariado Gitano;
• Mariona Puigdellívol from ECAS and Montse Santolino from LaFede.cat are part of organizations working for international cooperation, peace, and human rights.

A podcast hosted by Laura Aznar Llucià, journalist for CRÍTIC and collaborator of TV3 and RAC1.

They are accompanied by DJ TUTU in the music, pseudonym of Gemma Planell, who sets the musical thread with her own way of telling stories. As a visual complement, the prominent figure in the contemporary art scene,Carlos Carbonell,specialized in collaborative art and artificial intelligence, brings a unique visual dimension to this experience.
