"Antonio Manfredi, Director of the Casoria Contemporary Art Museum (CAM) in Naples, Italy, protested against the Italian Ministry of Culture by destroying and burning Art "To Save All Art." One of the art pieces destroyed by Manfredi was ACTivism (2007), a video art by Beatriz Albuquerque.
As a tribute to Manfredi's actions and  to pinpoint the Portuguese problem in the Arts: I propose to burn 10 mementos from the video ACTivism.
ACTivism is a video that praises the exploration of target and influential words that will function in the audience as a way to remember, and transform people, both on the inside immediately while experiencing the text, and perhaps even on the outside after contemplation of the piece.
With transformational activism, even small actions from the "inside out" - such as burning Art "To Save All Art"- can make a difference in the long run to create meaningful change in the world."

"Antonio Manfredi, director do Museu de Arte Contemporânea Casoria (CAM), em Nápoles, Itália, protestou contra o Ministério da Cultura italiano, destruindo e queimando Arte" para salvar toda a arte. "Uma das peças de arte destruídas por Manfredi foi Activismo (2007 ), uma peça de vídeoarte de Beatriz Albuquerque.

Como tributo ás ações Manfredi e para identificar o problema Português nas Artes: proponho a queimar 10 lembranças do vídeo ACTivismo
O ativismo é um vídeo que elogia a exploração do alvo e palavras influentes que funcionam na audência como forma de lembrar, e transformar as pessoas, tanto no interior (de imediato, enquanto experimenta o texto) e exterior - depois da contemplação da obra- . Com o "activismo" a transformação, mesmo de pequenas acções de "fora para dentro" - como a queima de Arte "para salvar toda a Arte" - pode fazer a diferença a longo prazo para criar mudanças significativas no mundo ".
