Description
In connection with nature, we fall in love with the earth and are curious about its inhabitants. We investigate who is native and who is an invasive species to understand the complexity of the place. Of course, this leads to wanting to know who has cared for the earth since time immemorial. Who evolved with this earth and formed and formed this bioregion? When we begin our journey towards connecting with nature must include this, because this deletion is harmful. When you uproot a land culture that has evolved with the land for ages immemorial, the trauma is immense not only for people, but also for their more than human community. How the uprooted land microcultures affect the terrain and how all the microorganisms fight to survive when the humans make inferences on the land? how these facts also affect the ecosystem and humans on a feedback loop.

Mapping queerness is an exercise to compile as much as we can about the microscopic entities and look for how the forces and interactions between microorganisms are moving the cooperation as horizontal gene transfer of information, just following the rules and the behaviors of bacterias as we learn from each other.

Related with the exhibition Regenerative Energy Communities we will love to explore the effects of the big eolic parks into the microbiota of the lands where they are installed in order to explore how these big parks destroy the micromacro ecosystem.

This workshop is based on a text I wrote a decade ago that was related to all the things I learned at that time. Just looking for Queer Nature on the internet opened up the new window of feminist quantum envisions from Karen Barad and her wonderful text Nature Queer Performativity.

If you want to follow up what I was writing you can check here on BioSensing blog FotoSyntetika. energy that matter, noises that are micro and entities that are queer exploring the emergence, resilience and autopoiesis. https://biosensing-blog.tumblr.com/post/22474992053/transferencia-horizontal-de-genes
