Bodies of Water
Bodies of Water
A performative lecture about the inner ecology, water, emotions, and non-hierarchical relationships.
We – all living beings on the Earth – are full of water. Our bodies are fluid and sensitive in their transformation to new forms of life, as we all become posthumans…
Nowadays, wind can flow freely in empty cities, in the ruins of our systems. Our emotions are our liquidity. Transformation from fear to love is bringing a new flow to our lives. Being kind to all living creatures, including ourselves and the Earth, means giving a sense to our futures.
On behalf of Astrida Neimanis and her posthuman feminist vision.
The live performance will take place in the DOX Center and will be streamed to the festival youtube channel. Link coming soon.
