Like my dear friend Pom RA Walden, I also understand world-building as an embodied methodology for the now, not a visionary tool for an imagined future. During the forty-five-minute session, we will playfully explore the modelling of sensory aids, grounding tactics, and mobility tools out of vegan wax. The resulting form will be a collectively conceived physical chain of auxiliary agents.

BIO

Elio J Carranza (they/them) is a transdisciplinary artist working with experimental moving image, techniques of play, text, and sculpture. In their practice, they synthesize material technologies, collective fiction storytelling, and image production software to develop (play) ecologies that visualize and complexify queer, trans*feminist, crip, and more-than-human dissident intimacies. Furthermore, they are passionate about critical pedagogy and are invested in matters around autonomous healthcare. They work as a tutor in the Fine Arts Department at the Sandberg Instituut.
