Same-time Bargaining Game

#main class project

developing a same-time bargaining game (offline and online), as an infrastructure that fosters anti-hierarchical (anti-capitalist, counter-hegemonic) fair price trade processes. I hope to publish and open source it in the next months.

#currently

• studying and creating fun music with La Lupe Rhythm with Signs, a music improvisation ensemble.

• working and exploring alternative ecologies and infrastructures of thought, tech, arts, relations, languages

• planning (intent/idea phase) to foster local mesh networks for education, information access, community organizing and disaster prevention. If you would like to collab or know of any fundings/grants that contribute to this, pls let´s get in touch.

• looking for Poebarios next installment, anytime, anywhere.

• Dragon Dreaming - methodology (or meta-methodology) for project design, embraces conflict (dragons), collective wisdom, diversity and of course how to work together to make dreams come true (as cheezy as it might sound).

• Human Training Peru - movement school focused in mobility, breathing, improvisation

• Centro de Estudios de Ritmo y Percusión con Señas (CERPS) - learning space that develops the Rhythm and Signs language, a music direction system based on the live improvisation and direction of an ensemble through signs.

• For the Wild - an “anthology of the Anthropocene; focused on land-based protection, co-liberation and intersectional storytelling rooted in a paradigm shift away from human supremacy, endless growth and consumerism”.

• South Epistemologies - a “propose to broaden the political imagination beyond the intellectual and political exhaustion of the global North".

• Poliactivismo - collection of podcasts by Alba Centauri, about polyamory and relational diversity.

• Tallerista.co - critical design learning space.

• Play! - YouTube playlist of random music (or not so random).

#about

#naming-identities

juan andrés safra AKA ja (sounds like “Ha!”). pronoun indiferent (any), pan, demi, ambi, from Lima, Perú. currently recognizing, embodying and remixing a mixed race (mestizo?) socialization with an afro-amazonic-peruvian heritage, or as Nicomedes Santa Cruz would said: indoblanquinegro, identity.

#frameworks-infrastructures

i study and create from:critical collective improvisation across arts (writing, theater, dance, music) and design, civic media, ecosystemic thinking, relational diversity, poetic and social justice.

#key questions-themes

i tend to focus on the intersections and borders among: identities, power, morals, narratives, memories and habits. and also i am constantly curious for learning, inspiring, creating, collectively.

#learned-have done

i have been working mainly in communications, design and media roles, among which:

• co-founded a design cooperative: Salta La Chiva (San Luis, Argentina). i am not longer a member but their work is truly beautiful, check them remotely or whenever you get the chance to be in Argentina.

• directed and co-created a transdisciplinary artistic experience: Poerbarios (Lima, Perú), portmanteau of poetry + herbary), an live arts party trip through poetry-dance-music-theater-electronic interfaces. it is also the publication a personal collection of poems as the starting point of the experience.

• worked for Peru’s Ministry of Education proposing concepts, creative writing and communication strategies for national public education campaigns.
