Programme - Terra Batida

Terra Batida is a network of people, practices and knowledge that contests ecological violence and the politics of abandonment; it is coordinated by Rita Natálio. On this Feminist School day, Terra Batida mobilizes the relations between ecology, transfeminism and language. There will be a performative reading by artist and researcher Rita Natálio, who proposes a re-reading of Lesbian Peoples: material for a dictionary by Monique Wittig and Sande Zeig (1976); an ecofeminist lecture by film and plant researcher Teresa Castro; and a performance by non-binary lesbian artist Alina Ruiz Folini who takes a stand on the question of deep listening, not only to the sensory properties of the sound of voice, breath and words, but also to lesbian and cuir sensibilities.

Performative reading of Spillovers, a tactile text, also presented as a sex manual or a sci-fi transfeminist essay.

Conference Ecofeminism and the r(a)ise of the biotariat, which explores the prolific interweavings between eco-feminist activism and thought and the rise of a biotic-social class: the biotariat.

Performance Ruído Rosa, which emerges from the desire to de-hierarchize the relationship between seeing-saying-listening, so as to open narratives and mythologies through oral imagination.
