Salt(ed) Pirates, 2024,
Presentation at AADK Residency, Spain

Salt(ed) Pirates is an anti-disciplinary installation on queer piracy, the grotesque and the carnivalesque as methodologies towards a more solidair and polymorphous conception of living together. Pirates have had an archetypical role throughout history and contemporary times, their poetic and romantic connotations, their anarchy, nomadism and living afloat under the creative and trusting force of resilience and community. Furthermore, their flamboyance allows for a demystification of femme and queer presence in the realm of waters and seascapes. The pirate ship, floating on endless waters, represents a liminal space of transformation and soft absurdity. The pirate, as a queer speculative fiction, is on a sensorial and endless floating quest to spaces that exist outside of the realms of patriarchy and capitalism by envisaging a transcorporeal feminist system.
