Abstract
Members of the performance art troupe La Pocha Nostra extended an invitation to contributors to create a text jointly. The process entailed posting online a document open for editing in 2014. As a result, over 40 artists, writers, and activists from multiple places in the Americas contributed to a morphing document. In this (anti) manifesto, contributors erased the notion of authorship and produced an innovative text to be performed in several incarnations, exploding the manifesto format as a collective declaration and thereby challenging cultural conventions. The 2015 version in the book is fully revised and formatted in an innovative and creative design.
