if the mission is to say that it is
still a lot of ideas that trots me
in the head
and in this beginning of the year 2011 I can you
make sure I have a bubbling mind
literally indeed I am
extremely receptive to everything
I happen
January 13, 2011
I completely fall by chance on a
reportage let’s talk about individuals having a
completely out of the ordinary project
on the other side of Argentina
the Atlantic forgiveness in argentina
completely seduced I climb into the
first plane and I’m coming here we are
January 16, 2011
I’m planted in the middle of a
editorial cooperative in the heart of
neighborhood of the bocca buenos aires
argentina then i will explain
why I’m here what you need to know
is that in the early 2000s a
serious economic crisis hit
argentina she pushed then some
thousands of Argentineans the street with the
cardboard as the only means of livelihood
these individuals were then called
cartoneros of individuals who collecting
waste and more specifically the
cardboard in huge trolley he
pushes by hand along sidewalks
the biggest Argentine cities
at the same time the price of paper
increases by 3 100% and the price of the book
follows this inflation
but if we consider the book as a
social lift but we set a price
unreachable for those who have it
Not needed anymore
then we dig inequalities
luckily a young Argentine writer
santiago belga had the brilliant idea
dissin to respond to this situation
by buying cardboard boxerboard and
making it the cover of the books
entirely produced by hand for
edit talented young writers
it gave us that
they say you see here was
sold for around 20 pesos
more than one euro
thirty times cheaper than a book
classic in sum a utopia become
reality who then to employ 6 people
and to give lasting access to people
who needed it most
the most need the book the story that
I just told you is actually the
narrative summary that two operators
have just made me this famous
afternoon of 2011
all this folding school by painting
cardboard books then the story is
great is not it but me it me
something was missing
I was frustrated I did not find
the spark that I had come to get
but it is exactly at that moment
that an old man enters the
cooperative with arms laden with
cartons
he was just taking them out gently
of a cart he had parked there just
in front of the door and they lay them on
the table in front of me and in your wrinkles and
defrocked but incredibly bright I
watched them wander there in the
cooperative laughing laughing touching the
cardboard books and I asked one
cooperators but who is this
individual he then told me he
was Oscar Oscar Oscar was a pilot for
the army of his plane pilot country for
the army of his country during the war
Falklands in the early 80s
but in this afternoon of 2011
the old oscars and cardboard hero he lives
in the street damaged by life and
yet I assure you and release a
tremendous energy
so when I ask him but where from
she comes to you he answers me as he
will always answer
silent words that changed my life
I stayed six months working at the
cooperative editorial six months for
understand that this silence was a
invitation
an invitation to observe myself to be granted
less importance to speeches
actually for six months I saw
oscar come every night without
exception drop the nicest cartons
that they collected the ranks the day
at the cooperative
we all knew that he was translating into acts
daily and share a deep
utopia every day with abnegation he
participated in a project whose only
hope to see the neighborhood kids
to offer a better future than his
it was these acts that made him a
true transformers he radiated
that contaminated the people he was watching
I know I was part of it
so what I would like to share with
you tonight is this feeling that
oscar it’s a little you it’s a little
we in truth I think we all
a part of utopia in us and utopia
be careful I do not speak there in a
unreachable dream
No, I’m talking about a great engine
for me the horizon is utopia
so it is urgent that we find
this utopian breath because it’s the only one
medium is the only beautiful promise
collective construction and
democratic of a better world
it’s just the idea of sharing
daily of our small actions that
transform the world
that’s why the utopians tell us
fascinates what has generated in me my
meeting with Oscar is a desire
burning to accompany
transformations of this world
so I just did my
profession I am a researcher in science
social and I try
to put my gray matter to the service
people who change the world
I’m trying to understand how these
individuals share their imagination
I’m trying to understand how these
individuals communicate their plants
Then I’m interested in
utopian initiatives I would say there is
three words to remember imaginary
perseverance the multitudes
indeed collective initiatives
carried by the utopia of a better world
always reveals the presence of individuals
who are carried by an imaginary
powerful creative coming from their childhood
and evolution the utopias shows
always the presence the individual town and
of abnegation village and perseverance he
never have it at last it’s so
nice to see that utopias are
millions a multitude that converge
gently then let’s start with this
imaginary me for example when I was
little boy I spent hours and
hours to reproduce the most beautiful
flags of the world take out this flag
was finally what I was planning to
my imagination that I was planning a
crossed flag it was a desire
ardent to go to meet
the other at 7 years these flags were
the colorful expression of an elsewhere
it was my polychromy of the world at 25 years
carried by this momentum imagined with
the engine of my flight and then I
furrowed the roads of the world to the
meeting faces that was hiding
behind those flags that I drew
children if this imaginary had not
been the great engine of my flight
I would never have had the chance to
meet all those people who dazzled
my life I would never have had the chance
to meet Oscar I would not be
definitely not here tonight
in front of you to talk about our
utopias
because without this power to imagine that everything
is achievable
we can not power the engine
of utopia and we are content to
world as it is today so I
do not know what he wants but for you
but less today the world
it does not fit at all so I
need it’s obviously need to believe
in something better
Besides, who of you did not have
dozens of crazy ideas as if they
were children what are you
made of his ideas they are where you
have left there at the edge of the path before
to take the highway of life to 300 to
the hour we go
tonight on your way home take the
time sit back and let go
his ideals from deep within yourself
second teaching of my work
with the utopians is that these
individuals never let go of
perseverance and a trait of character
which reveals the research
these are individuals deeply
embody whose energy hinders the
contamination of their imaginary by the
pessimism
and yet how many times have we
heard that we were told
leaders of idealists the utopians
present tonight in the hall get
will certainly recognize in the
famous family meal you know we
drinks a glass two glasses three glasses
and then we feel the energy of throwing
one with the neighbors made a garden
sharing
we grow organic vegetables
awesome it’s also the moment when you
realized that you just stuck
the evening you know not too much if you
must react by saying sorry excuse
me it was a joke and slip under
the table also you have to dream
second bottle or third bottle
to give back a little bit of
cheerfulness at this delicate moment
the following discussion if finally a
stack
of negative arguments that end up
the inexorable it’s utopian your thing
it will never work the real Utopian
they do not care if they know
walk because utopia
it serves above all to move the
lines said to the feet it serves to
ask questions it is used to test
utopia it serves even more to
to deceive and try these people differently
never give up they are deeply
embodied by their advanced energy towards
utopia
so please at the next
family meal when drunkenness you
will win and you’ll want to
share your utopia especially do not you
do not hold back and if however there is still
skeptics preferred the silence
of oscar and during the digestive walk
make a small detour through the garden
shared and invite you people who
will follow you put your hands in the
earth smell smell touch this earth
fresh thanks for they are not
speeches it’s not it’s not
these discourses that change minds and
habits but well our
concrete achievements then you
will see you too your garden
sharing
you can become infected and get fat
the ranks the people who change the world
yes because despite everything and that’s the
third teaching of my research
you have to know that utopians are
millions who by their acts
currents profoundly changes the world
millions of people trying
little by little to change things
it’s a friend a neighbor your baker
a co-worker sometimes even
the invisible there just around the corner of your
street as was oscars I respect
so many people who do not
their utopia a standard nor an object
marketing but a way of life
this humility to something
of universal that my researches reveal
these individuals who do this are at
the heart of a paradox they are discreet and
at the same time inevitable it’s not the
advertising they do the same who the
makes visible but their abnegation to
act for the collective good and Oscar and
is one of those
because I worked in the
cooperative
I was surprised to meet all
days of people who knew oscars
people who gave their cards to
oscar and all the books that came out of
the pizzeria reassign where we were producing
our works were passed by
hands back because it’s his utopia that he has
shared in action and who has made
him a smuggler then today in 2017
I see almost every day bloom
a similar project around the world
it is in africa in asia in america
north but also to angers toulouse
clermont ferrand reality at the time
we are talking about utopia this one counts
more than 300 similar projects across
the planet
as many initiatives that transforms
deep in the world by having
the object delivers a real tool
of social climbing
oscar has changed the daily and the
destiny of hundreds of people they
were invisible and yet I you
assures
so brilliant oscars left us
a July 8, 2013
the street has definitely taken over
there is one thing that I am convinced
is that his soul is here tonight
it is found in all
utopian dimensions that lives in us
indeed I believe that there is in each of
we have tremendous potential
transformer that our utopias must
allow to put in synergy
because both hands are written
today in our utopias
because in our daily actions that
change the face of the world
I like to think that I’m watching
that we are all a little oscars because
it has never been so urgent to believe
in a better world
because we never needed it so much
of ideals and beautiful horizons
fueled by our most imaginative
beautiful
because we never needed it so much
to bind us to reveal the formidable
transformative potential of our utopias
so please if however
tomorrow the world makes you doubt the
force of the utopia you have there just
in the corner of the heart and that someone you
pushes to believe that this is a dream is
unattainable
do not hesitate to answer him in
tribute to oscar silence
