Created in 2007 as a contribution to non-global movements, Tactical Frivolity + Rhythms of Resistance is part of the series Tra i sogni: Saggi sulla nuova immaginazione politica (Among Dreams: Essays on the new political imagination), created by Expósito in the 2000s to portray the expressive forms of social movements against neoliberalism.
