INTERCONNECTIVITY WORKSHOP (2023)

​​​EARTH A GATHERING WORKSHOP (2022)

Block III a.pass Brussels (BE)

 

During a 4 day encounter and a series of theory readings, we are in touch with traditional and innovative practices around the carbon spectrum. On one side of the spectrum we encounter María Quiñelén, Mapuche medicine woman and Isabel’s close collaborator. The Mapuche is the original nation in Chile. Via a series of ceremonial practices, María shares with us how her cosmovision envisions the human body as an Earth body. On another side of the spectrum, bioengineer Markus Schmidt, shares details about xeno-biology, a novel scientific discipline that engineers chromosomes different from carbon based DNA, to create useful artificial sustainable biodiversity. Orbiting around these spectrums, our readings open chapters from Geontologies, A requiem to late liberalism by Elizabeth Povinelli, from The Relative Native, Essays on Indigenous Conceptual Worlds by Eduardo Viveiros de Castro and Xenofeminism by Helen Hester. Where we collectively reflectd on: What makes life be in opposition to and in difference from Nonlife?

On the last day we visit one of the biggest carbon mines in Europe.

THE DEPOSITORY CAT WORKSHOP

Block II a.pass Brussels (BE) ​​(2021)

 

The Depository Cat is an ongoing practice throughout the block, which proposes the installation of an interactive space that invites participants to share their research in the form of self treatment/s or treatment/s for others. Participants are invited to deposit the memories of the treatment/s around the Cat in order to imprint the healing that took place in the common space. These memories can be ornamental, devotional, cathartic, contaminative, etc.
