Francisco Camacho Herrera’s projects are highly participatory and often operate as spaces of social activism. He frequently experiments with cooperative and community-oriented approaches in order to engender social transformation and imagine potential alternative futures for contemporary society. Often political in nature, the artist’s endeavors include Fulltopia (2015-ongoing), a digital platform that facilitates the exchange of services and ideas within local communities, bypassing prevailing capitalist systems of monetary transaction. Perhaps Camacho Herrera’s most influential project is Groepshuwelijken (group-marrying), which took place in the Netherlands. The work questions the limits and restrictions of monogamous marriage. The project asks: Why are other forms of living together in a relationship excluded from marriage? Why can’t we marry several partners at the same time (polyamory)? For this project, the artist gathered signatures for a petition in favor of opening up civil marriages to groups. Amassing 40,000 signatures, the Dutch parliament was ultimately required to include the topic on their agenda. According to Camacho Herrera, the gesture was not intended as a stunt. Rather, opening up the debate around matrimony was a tribute to 17th Century Dutch philosopher and freethinker Spinoza.
