#CounterInstitutional
Reading Chilean feminist Nelly Richard's MASCULINE/FEMININE: PRACTICES OF DIFFERENCE(S) & the essay "Politics & Aesthetics of the Sign" is so good. Richard describes the "counterinstitutional practices of the so-called new scene [nueva escena] during the Chilean dictatorship" of Pinochet.

The text explores the contrast between counter-institutional and institutional systems. Counter-institutional spaces feel intuitive as they prioritize relational logic and human experience over bureaucracy, fostering community and care. In contrast, institutional systems are perceived as counter-intuitive, demanding adherence to rigid structures that often conflict with natural human instincts. This distinction guides the design of more human-centered systems.
