The re-appropriation of the Witch by feminism is an attempt to do justice to those women of the past, dissidents, researchers, powerful, independent….. Women who in many cases possessed great wisdom and a kind of proto-scientific knowledge. Mi cuerpo es una piscina climatizada uses the figure of the snake -a symbol of primitive matriarchy and evil in Christianity- to represent the different temperature changes that occur during the menstrual cycle and their relationship with fertility
Veronica Garcia is interested in female pleasure and works with objects, symbols and assumed roles that are part of the stereotypes of feminity. In their playful form the objects are characterized by a certain ambivalence. They question the patrialchal view of our society while blurring the canon of fragility, superficiality and empowerment
MALAYERBA MKRT is an international guerrilla gardening gang.
We believe our world deserves a rich polyculture, as well as cultural diversity.
We are trying to learn and to change things around us. We are not scared. We are full of joy.
The seedballs for the PALINDROMI exhibition are filled with seeds from wild plants. We like the idea of working for and with them. The unwanted and the invisible ones. The ones growing without permission. Plants that pesticides are for. Those that their names and propierties are forgotten. Those growing in the margins. The witch ones. The old ones. They are beautiful and strong. Wise seeds occupying the fissures.
„Al-Andalus or Barbarism“ evokes the sentence by Rosa Luxemburg „Socialisme ou Barbarie“ that gave its name to the French revolutionary collective of the mid-twentieth century. This play on words refers to how Spanish society perceives its Arab past as an otherness. The Arab barbarian that the Catholic kings managed to drive out.
On the other hand, the historical period of Al-Andalus (711-1492) was a moment of great splendour in the history of Spain and its cultural legacy is part of the dna of the peninsula. To deny Al-Andalus is in fact to call oneself a barbarian .
SUB is an interdisciplinary event that brings together a concert, a video performance and an installation through the participation of all those present. Together with two musicians and a video artist, the audience enters the fiction of an underwater vehicle and emerges from the darkness of the deep-sea basin to the bright water surface. Musical,visual and spatial components are successively modified and pass through several phases together. Video and music mark the ascent by playing with light, text fragments and timbres, while the audience, equipped with lighting, shapes the installation through arranged changes of position.
