Ge-B-Re

Between a performative lecture and a somatic lecture, Ona Bros presents Ge-B-Re, in which she brings together diverse fields such as modern biosciences, cold technologies and personal diaries. Ge-B-Re draws on her research into the narratives of genetics in the framework of global cryo-technological bio-economies in a melting world.
 

The proposal presented here aims to be an approach to the techno-epistemic scaffolding that sustains a certain notion of objectivity and predictability in relation to corporealities, an exercise in thermal resignifications of what we understand as the life and death of related organisms.

Ona Bros: Artist/researcher. Graduate in Art History (UB), Master in Artistic Production and Research, Faculty of Fine Arts (UB). Graduate in Photography from the Centre for Image and Multimedia Technology (UPC). Her praxis focuses on the political attention to images as catalysts of semiotic-technical-material complexes. Her projects are embodied and situated. She works in a rich network of collaborations and collective resonances. Since 2021, she has been questioning the continuities and discontinuities that modern patriarchal-colonial technosciences imply for the field of genetics and reproductive markets, in order to detect affirmative potencies through the BetaBlastoCuir project. She is currently initiating the CRYO research. She works in photography, video, text and live arts.
