SHORT DESCRIPTION
---
In this collective informal session: Commons, biohacking and contemporary witchcraft (Part1/x): from the forest to witchery and contemporary biohacking practices, we gonna talk about re-making the Commons from a feminist perspective. First we will navigate the Commons, from the forest to witchery and to contemporary biohacking practices as a 'commonist' media practice to collective knowledge-making. It will be followed by DIY Akelarre: the most ingenious TikTok egg hack of 2020.
This is the first of a series of collective sessions that'd happen along 2020 and 2021 for experimentation, re-thinking, re-making and discussing the Commons and bio media practices of commoningfrom a critical, feminist perspective oriented to women, queer and non-binary curious minds.
LONG DESCRIPTION
---
Paradoxically, we only know what we got until its gone. In a moment in which everything, including bodies, sociality and resources such as energy, or knowledge, has been largely commodified (Wark, 2010) we need to re-think ways to preserve it. From the Chart of the Forest, which granted people full access to the forest, to Creative Commons policies that enable open science in times of global pandemics, there has been more or less successful attempts to do it.
In this session, we gonna focus on the feminist perspective of biohacking and figure out how the reappropriation of the scientific method and instruments through bio-practices such as contemporary witchcraft*, DIY Bio and biohacking can actually enable commoning and critical (bio)media practices.
The session will continue with a workshop "DIY Akelarre: the most ingenious TikTok egg hack of 2020" a small egg hack, inspired by the most ingenious TikTok egg hack of 2020
Finally, we will have a discussion on the bioethics, response-ability and potentials of reappropriation of scientific tools and life manipulation techniques, not only in DIYBio sphere but also in the Big Biotech realms.
