Exploring various ideas, tastes, musics, medias, approaches leaning towards sustainably just, inclusive, decolonial ,ecological, and feminist Futures. Here’s various diverse heterogeneous past and present projects I contributed to.
Space Exploration
Since January 2021, I run the SAE Greenhouse Lab, the space was open to foster creative dialogues between the local community, artists and scientists to explore jointly the bounds to be established between the research of the SAE Group in ETH Zürich, shedding light on sustainable agroecosystems, and the collective movement transforming food and agricultural systems. Over the last years, we have hosted, organised, collaborated in various Art & Science events, exhibitions and discussions.
Decolonize Zürich – We believe decolonial problematization of the academic, political and social context is central to transforming patterns of thought as well as expanding and challenging the current canon of knowledge. Within this collective, we unlearn, unhide, organize, participate in discussions, events, projects and explore new pathways.
The project “Remapping Zurich” offers an alternative guide for Zurich. This digital platform proposes a decolonial memory culture of the city, enabling people to engage with different layers of (neo)colonialism, racism as well as with actions of resistance to various oppressive structures and possible practices of decoloniality. It offers historic context as well as decolonial and anti-racist strategies, that were developed as an alternative response to ongoing colonial and racist remnants in the city of Zurich. The project is a collaboration between Colombian artist María Ordoñez and the collective Decolonize Zurich.
