we’re having a contributions column there. contact via email mariia.lemperk@gmail.com to participate
an interdisciplinary artist/curator with a practice evolved on the edges of memory and body politics.
their recent interest focuses on the (un- and)controlled pain environments,
collective grieving,
performative archives,
non-hierarchical togetherness issues,
gender deconstructions and presence of queer in the political and cultural chaoses of today.
kissing rocks, fucking walking canes, building performative playgrounds,
romancing with mistakes,
learning pleasure,
endlessly exploring strategies of resistance, collective choreographies, post-pornography, educational methodologies, activist actions, with performative tools of situation and process (co)composing.

Un-Tower Tryouts, a collaborative artistic project that invites participants to rethink power, connection, and creativity through questioning the possibility of non-hierarchical engagement.
Un-Tower Tryouts unfolds as a dual-action project: On one level, it is a series of artistic interventions that bring participants together to reimagine the ruins of the tower. Participants enter the body of the ruin, bringing it closer to themselves and through tenderness toward it they make the tryouts as acts of resistance against the violent climate of vertical structures. On another level, it serves as a metaphorical deconstruction of the tower itself — a movement outward.

How changes the choreography of co-presence compositions with the active sense of the temporality of alliances?
notes on memory capitalism: Memory is a practice of a non-naturalization of the oblivion. In the age of neoliberal capitalism, the oblivion of oblivion we forget that we are forgotten, forget we forgot. Reproduction of social relationships replies to the so-called ideological experientiality of time.
Let’s view capitalism as one of the many ways of organizing time, and social relationships where the multiple living reaffirmed the micro-temporality of living - review what are the temporary ways to relate to time. Our time is not our time. With the compulsory isolation the time relating becomes a separate structure. Micro-temporality — the fragmented, fleeting experiences of the present moment — emerges as the dominant mode of living in late-stage capitalism. Micro-remembrance, the individual is subjected to a constant cycle of disjointed temporality, which reaffirms the notion that life is lived in bursts of consumable moments, shaped and structured by the demands of the patriarchy coded ideology. The protection of memory as a communal resource, outside the forces of commodification and control often viewed as a practiced utopia.
Recomend to have a look on Carolina Ré’s, Universidad de Buenos Aires (Argentina), and Ana Carolina Barbosa’s, Universidade Federal da Bahia (Brazil), writings.
