There are common and almost instinctive gestures that arise as a consequence of a system or culture.
The intention of this reaction can be provocation, boredom, disinterest or rebellion against established rules.
So what would happen if a small, childish act, such as sticking a gum under a school desk, would take on larger proportions and became the basis of a project?
It is with this prerogative that Chewed Tactic is presented, with the intention of highlighting a silent but shared act between different people, including people of different generations.
Chewed Tactic is therefore a tribute to an autonomous tactic, to the first collective act of strength, which passes almost by stealth, but which continues to perpetuate itself over the years.
