Yomango

Description

Yomango is a creative action group from Barcelona that promotes day-to-day civil desobedience as a direct way of fighting the hegemony of multinational corporations. The precarity movement is based on a loose mix of tactics: squatting, urban agriculture, culture jamming, organizing of chainstore flexworkers, and collective reappropiations of goods from supermarkets. Yomango offers workshops on theatrical theft, stolen-goods fashion shows, and fabric Yomango labels for stitching into lifted clothing. The brand name Yomango, which in Spanish slang means “I steal,” is a play on the name of the popular clothing chain Mango. As a lifestyle, Yomango is spread around the world by formal activist “franchises” in Mexico, in Germany, and across South America. Informal participation is everywhere.
