The Positive Ghetto Was, The Positive Ghetto Is: Cultural Affairs in the AI Age
And it’s still alive and kicking, as you’ll see, carrying a deeper meaning, inspired, as always, by something I firmly believe in: the sense of community.
Community as human beings, community as artists.
The goal? To connect beyond geographical boundaries, with creativity, independence, and quality as the only passports required.
Back in the day, "The Positive Ghetto" had some ties to a previous project called euskir’s music.
While this new version isn’t structured as a nonprofit, the core idea remains: balance. Investments, not expenses.
Lately, watching the independent music market go up in flames (no need to name a specific streaming service, most of them are just slightly different shades of bad), I felt the urge to bring "The Positive Ghetto" back, stronger than ever.
Now, I don’t expect you to know me from my past cultural projects.
But hey, if you’re curious, feel free to check out my LinkedIn Profile, dig around my online presence, you might find some pleasant surprises. And if that’s not enough, just ask the amazing people I’ve met along the way.
So, how do we get this rebirth rolling?
Two simple ways.
One, old school: PayPal donations.
The other, a little more fashionable: grabbing an NFT from "The Positive Ghetto" collection on OpenSea.
But at the end of the day, it’s the same mission as always: connect art and artists, push for creativity and independence, and never, ever compromise on quality.
I’ve got forty years of experience in communications, advertising, marketing, cultural affairs.
Yes, I’m carrying some fantastic (and sometimes weirdly specific) skills in my luggage.
Need advice? Want to join me on this ride?
I’m here. I’m easy to find. The internet makes sure of that.
Oh, and about the title, no, it’s not a cheap clickbait trick.
AI, to me, is a symbol of our times.
You can use it wisely (a rare skill, I must say), or you can fall for the illusion of a fast and easy road to success.
I’d rather focus on something real, even in my wildest dreams.
So here’s my invitation: let’s keep art and culture safe, accessible, and alive, not just for today, but for the years to come.

AllSenses | Art&Ads: Pasado, Presente, Futuro / Past, Present, Future
AllSenses | Art&Ads fue creado como un paraguas, una forma de mantener varios proyectos interesantes vivitos y coleando, todos ellos con la misma orientación creativa y comercial, pero para los creativos involucrados, siempre en movimiento a través de los maravillosos campos de la creatividad, resultó imposible mantenese juntos, bajo la original y colorida protección de las lluvias y tormentas de la vida laboral de todos los días.
Por varios meses, diría que inclusive un par de años, estuvimos trabajando fuera de la zona de confort llamada AllSenses | Art&Ads, ese es el motivo por el que no estábamos posteando nuevo contenido, y finalmente hemos decidido cambiar la dirección original del proyecto.
Todos los espacios online permanecerán allí, como un adorable testimonio de días felices, recuerdos para mantenerlos cálidos en nuestras almas y corazones, pero no postearemos nuevo material en ninguno de estos espacios.
Federico Antin, junto con Paula Navarrete una de las mentes maestras creativas del proyecto, estará disponible para tareas creativas y mucho más, y podrán encontrarlo a través de su cuenta de LinkedIn.
Con creatividad siempre hay un futuro, y ese futuro es hoy.
AllSenses | Art&Ads was created as an umbrella, a way to keep many interesting projects alive and kicking, all of them with the same creative and commercial orientation, but for the creative people involved, always in movement throughout the wonderful fields of creativity, it was impossible to keep together under that original and colourful protection from the rains and the storms of everyday working life.
For several months, I would say even a couple of years, we were working outside the comfort zone called AllSenses | Art&Ads, that’s the reason why we were not posting new content, and finally we’ve decided to change the direction of the original project.
All the spaces online will stay there, as a lovely testimony from happy days, memories to keep warm in our souls and hearts, but no new material will be posted in any of those spaces.
Federico Antin, along with Paula Navarrete, one of the creative masterminds of the project, will be available for creative tasks and many more, and you’ll be able to find him through his LinkedIn account.
With creativity there’s always a future, and that future is today.
