Bodies of One's Own

Bodies of One's Own

This programme by l’Alternativa Hall ventures into personal spaces, opening doors to public and private realms, collective manifestations, diverse gazes and suggestive gestures to weave a connective fabric with three strands.

The first strand is a project by the Centre de Documentació Ca la Dona which repurposes archival material in a multiscreen session to help us imagine possible presents and potential futures as we articulate our lives and struggles.

The second strand is Oda butch, a multidisciplinary collaborative project celebrating butch identities led by Mariana Portela Echeverri and Lola Clavo.

The third strand, which inspires the name for the programme as a whole, is Ornella Bodratto’s curatorial project A Body of One’s Own. A collective body, a mosaic of a thousand flowing screens staging the dynamic interplay of montage and camera.
