El Boga Artistic Residency Trans natura


During her residency, Andrea seeks to explore ways to navigate civilizational collapse from everyday practices, creating community with non-human beings and strengthening the fabric of life.

Methodologically, she is interested in discovering the symbolic worlds existing in multispecies communities, inhabited by human and non-human beings based on practices in relational aesthetics with the documentary archive as a tool, as an input and as an initial result of a process that can be sustained over time in the territory.
