Presentation of the game *Teng- and closing research session 22-23

Contraimaginarios (Postpandémicos) will talk and debate with Felix Kalmenson, Hache Mau and Ingrid Blanco, three artists, activists and cultural workers who accompanied us during 2022 and 2023 in different facets of the research process. We will address reflections that were born in this research framework that resonate strongly in the current context, as well as possible alliances and collective possibilities for possible futures.

We will also present the game *Teng-, created by the research group this 2023, as well as a publication that summarises the large number of processes carried out in the two years of research.

By Contraimaginaris Postpandèmics (Antoine Silvestre, Jesús Arpal Moya and Nancy Garín)

With the participation of: Hache Mau, Ingrid Blanco and Felix Kalmenson

Roma Murua and Irene Pérez

Felix Kalmenson (St. Petersburg, 1987), artist and researcher whose practice navigates through film, installation, video and performance. Kalmenson's work variably narrates the liminal space of a researcher and artist's encounter with landscape and archive. By bearing witness to everyday life and hardening the most fragile vestiges of private and collective histories through his work, Kalmenson indulges in the cadence of an ever-changing poem.

Hache Mau, marrone activist, anti-colonial migrant sex-gender dissident born in the colonised territory now called Bolivia, was part of the Anti-racist Care Network in the process of pandemic 2020, and was also part of other anti-racist political resistance collectives in Barcelona. Her activism focuses on challenging structural racism, sexual binarism and all hegemony from an indigenous-descendant migrant marikatravesti perspective. She was part of the coordination of the anti-colonial trans cycle in Barcelona in 2023.

Ingrid Blanco (Havana, 1972), graduated in art history by the University of Havana. She studied the Independent Studies Programme at the Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA) in the 2008-2009 edition. Her work is interested in the forms of historical construction and representation of racialised identities. She is currently an assistant lecturer on the Independent Studies Programme at MACBA 2023-24.

Irene Pérez is a visual artist, mother and activist for various causes with a queer feminist outlook. Through her works she has explored ideas related to identity, gender, language, education and chronic illness, based on personal experience and in a multidisciplinary way, with the aim of turning them into a vehicle for generating thought.

Roma Murua, non-binary femininity, transvestoid. Migrant. Visual artist, squatter, set designer, seamstress, colourful. Currently researching on transvestite squatting archive in the city.
