Ice communities, with Ona Bros

The ice communities are a meeting space directed to people involved in parenting processes and/or with children in whose fertilization “donated” genetic material (egg, sperm or embryo) has intervened, an increasingly widespread type of parenting.

During two days of workshop we will ask ourselves about the discourses of genetics, both scientific and popular, and how these shape what we understand by life, bond or relational ecosystems. We seek to promote an environment that facilitates the emergence of new conversations and new ways of speaking, beyond essentialist and mercantilist discourses. A space where to rehearse nomenclatures and ways of naming experience that stir affirmative powers without removing responsibilities; where to invoke collective narratives based on embodied knowledge and embrace the mutual recognition of doubts and babbling.

Ona Bros works with photography, video, writing and live arts materials that she relates to epistemic fields in search of queer and transfeminist narratives that unravel prejudices and social conventions.
