• What is Macondo?

Macondo Espacio Cultural was a non-profit, volunteer-run, community-based cultural organization.

It was dedicated to providing a space for art forms that are often overlooked and ignored, and free expression independent of mainstream controlled mediums.

Over the course of Macondo's existence, it presented a kaleidoscope of events such as musicians from the Latin American new song movement, traditional and experimental musicians from diverse cultures, independent films, hardcore and rock shows, arts and crafts workshops, readings, photography and painting exhibitions, graffiti exhibitions and workshops, political and social conferences, and open discussions.

All the activities that took place at Macondo had two vital things in common:

  1. a desire for creating a better world through honest expression, and
  2. the hope of enabling a better understanding of each other through communication

In 1992, Macondo expanded its activities to include hardcore music, as it was an independent and positive force in the lives of those involved. To commemorate the 10-year anniversary of this, Work Is A Four-Letter Word presents an archive of flyers for the hardcore shows Macondo held from 1992 to 1996. Smile!
