ALMA de Bruixes is a nomadic collective of biohackers witches who see little difference between a speculum and a sex toys. The collective is investigating the rebellious act of re-imagining science, biomaterials and gynecology as alternative forms of care, knowledge and pleasure. How can we re-frame pleasure through spells and rituals and free our eroticism from the violence of racist and misogynist medical claim?
The collective will present its work based on Sx-Pleasuration, Santa Sangre and On/scenity made of participatory practices, workshops, radical education and performances.
Sx-Pleasuration is an interdisciplinary and participatory workshop aimed to explore a familiar but unpleasant object of our intimacy: the speculum. We explore gynecological visit experiences, pleasure and health, feminist self-exploration to re-imagine future scenarios on exploring our body.
Santa Sangre is an esoteric journey in which participants will unlearn the taboos and myths around menstrual blood and through alchemical activities they will hack, transform and enjoy the most controversial fluid of the human body.
On/scenity is a celebration of synthetic desires, a provocative ceremony that interweaves sex, technology, magic and biology to explore the depths of occult pleasures.
ALMA de Bruixes born from the union of ALMA Futura, which studies and develops tools for radical change in vaginal and gender health, and Bruixes-Lab, a nomadic laboratory of biohacking, sextech and witchcraft rituals.
Alma de Bruixes is a nomadic collective of biohackers witches who see little difference between a speculum and a sex toy. They weave together like a spell, biomaterials, DIY biology, gynaecology and lubricants for the pleasure of self-exploration.
Born from the union of ALMA Futura, which studies and develops tools for radical change in vaginal and gender health, and Bruixes-Lab, a nomadic laboratory of biohacking, sextech and witchcraft rituals. Founded by Cristina Dezi, Isabel Farina and Giulia Tomasello.
The collective is investigating the rebellious act of re-imagining science, alchemy and gynecology as alternative forms of care, knowledge and pleasure. How can we re-frame pleasure through spells and rituals and free our eroticism from the violence of racist and misogynist medical claims?
The starting point is the violence from which gynaecology was born but the ending one is pleasure as anti-colonial, anti-patriarchal and anti-capitalist. The collective has been collaborating so far with Arse Elektronika, Mu Hybrid Art House, Witches are Back, Bellakeo and Abbramà Festival.
