PIGS / Porto

PIGS / Porto

From a selection of international artists, the PIGS project sets out to reflect a political landscape imbued with the cynicism that is the inevitable result of the representations that legitimate the superiority of a speech or image of the countries of the north of Europe over the countries of the south. The acronym coined by the neoliberal financial press serves as an excuse to sketch a portrait of what is going on and to bring to light some of the types of power involved. The term is a play on words, since the expression pigs can fly refers to something impossible, such as the economic miracle sup¬posedly achieved by those peripheral countries. Hence the occasional use of the expression “pig economy”.
