Looking for a new job / Buscando un nuevo trabajo

Dear people out there:

I've got a good job since 2011, not the perfect job, but we know that's a pretty strange thing in the world today.
For several reasons I want to make a change, and I need all the help you can give.
If you know me well, my main experience is on the communications field (advertising, radio,TV,movies, music, music management, cultural management), specially on the creative areas, but I can deal with other aspects too.
Of course I understand, not only Argentina, the whole world, is right know involved in a very complicated situation for people searching for any kind of job, so if you think there's a job outside my field, but I'm able to work on it, you can count with me.

Best wishes, as always, and all my love,


Querida gente allí fuera:

Tengo un buen trabajo desde 2011, no es el trabajo perfecto, pero sabemos que esa es una cosa bastante extraña en el mundo de hoy.
Por varias razones quiero hacer un cambio, y necesito toda la ayuda que puedan dar.
Si me conocen bien, mi principal experiencia es en el campo de las comunicaciones (publicidad, radio, televisión, cine, música, management de músicos, gestión cultural), especialmente en las áreas creativas, pero puedo tratar con otros aspectos también.
Por supuesto comprendo, no sólo Argentina, todo el mundo, está en este momento involucrado en una situación muy complicada para personas en busca de cualquier tipo de trabajo, por lo que si ustedes piensan que hay un trabajo fuera de mi campo, pero soy capaz de trabajar en él, pueden contar conmigo.

Los mejores deseos, como siempre, y todo mi cariño,

Federico

The Positive Ghetto and the sense of community / The Positive Ghetto y el sentido de comunidad

Sometimes I don't know what to think, because I believe some people, even those involved in the independent art scene, doesn't understand the importance to support our community and projects.

Algunas veces no se que pensar, porque creo que algunas personas, aún aquellos involucrados en el ambiente del arte independiente, no comprenden la importancia de apoyar a nuestra comunidad y proyectos.

First steps

Somehow the first steps from The Positive Ghetto are the last steps from euskir music.
Do you know euskir music? Do you remember that project?

euskir music was an idea to give a good hand to independent musicians, music and cultural management without any charge for the musician, and in some cases a service for some music festivals and venues too.
The money to support it? From my own pocket, some coming from free lance jobs related to communications services, and sometimes coming from non profit organizations, as euskir music itself.
It was fine for a couple of years, but at some point it was impossible to keep it alive, some problem with an international festival was the last drop of poison to kill my beloved project.

The Positive Ghetto is aiming to the same direction, independent art, not only music, of course music will be the main interest, because is the field I know much better, but I think to open as many doors as possible.

There’s a basic difference, the way to sustain the project alive and kicking, without any problem.
For specific works, a charge, an arrangement with the artist or the person interested in my help, this is a non profit organization, I’m not pretending to take 50% of nobody’s profit, just a little help to keep the wheels rolling.
And the other option is to use the PayPal button you can see at right, if you love independent art, and specially if you know me, and my honest work to help artists from any country, genre, or style, add a contribution, small, middle, big, just as much as you can, I know these hard times are not easy for our wallets, but one coin here, another there, that will be enough.

My friends, well, you know me, and if you don’t, just ask someone who knows me, “good art must survive” isn’t just a catchy slogan, is a goal, and alone, I just can’t do it.

Good art must survive

Ghettos are linked to many stories, of life and death, comedy and tragedy, and even in the worst times, the sense of community is very alive in the ghetto.

Is more than clear than the enemy is outside, so the ghetto, as a big family, try to solve all the problems, big and small, always as a whole entity.

The Positive Ghetto is a worldwide project, very ambitious, as most projects, but knowing well we're facing hard times, so patience must be a main tool here.

I'm not the usual "music business guy", not even for the independent scene, because thanks to my great working experience I can reach cultural management areas beyond the activity as creative consultant for artists and cultural spaces, like press, public relations, festival and music venues, and also a good hand at online presence (websites, blogs, social networks), and many other art related matters coming from the open interchange of ideas between you and me.

Art is the key, from my side essentially music, but The Positive Ghetto is open to any independent artistic activity, from movies to literature, paintings to graphic design and photography, to be clear, all art forms are welcome, because we're always looking for a way to get people together, to find the energy in common ground, and to share our knowledge, in every artistic field.

No limits, no horizon, no selfishness, just one direction, because everyone at The Positive Ghetto knows one thing, good art must survive.
