re-c(O)unting: bodies, stories, laboratories

In collaboration with Joris Koene (VU/Amsterdam Institute for Life and Environment)

re-c(O)unting is an artistic/scientific research questioning how we can transform the production of knowledge; it is a decolonial healing journey into the transgenerational trauma our lands and bodies store. Deconstructing the binarisms between nature/technology, science/spirituality, male/female, we zoom out and into the relationship between Europe and Latin America. Re-'discovering' our female- assigned bodies, we create an extended-video installation accompanied by live performance. We delve into our deepest insides to reveal the magick of science and retell the stories.
