To Give Birth to the Sun with Luiza Prado on 20 September

Join us for a dinner performance and reading at ACUD MACHT NEU! Our current Vilém Flusser resident will prepare Brazilian food inspired by her research and dialogue with local communities in Brazil.

On 20 September we present To Give Birth to the Sun—a dinner performance and reading with Luiza Prado de O. Martins at ACUD MACHT NEU.

Please let us know at rsvp@transmediale.de if you would like to join the event.

Our current Vilém Flusser resident will prepare Brazilian food, inspired by her research and dialogue with local communities in Brazil during her residency. The ingredients she uses lead a double life: they are known food sources, whilst also being used for birth control and abortion. They are meant to spark a conversation on the medicalization of bodies, notions of “radical care,” the poetic dimensions of herbal remedies, and a re-centering of indigenous and folk knowledge—as part of a discussion on reproductive politics and marginalized communities in relation to climate change.
This evening get-together, which takes place on the day of Global Climate Strike, also looks forward to transmediale 2020 End to End and Prado's project The Councils of the Pluriversal which will be presented at the festival. The evening will be accompanied by a dj set by Salisme
