Congratulations on your US PREMIERE today 6.4.24 to out artist collaborators @kangelatromokratisch@tyfoid@avant.drag.film 💓💜🪅💓🧨💞 “Avant-Drag! offers an exhilarating look at ten Athenian drag performers who deconstruct gender, nationalism, belonging, identity, while facing police brutality, transphobia and racism. As entertaining as it is thought-provoking, Avant-Drag! challenges societal norms and reshapes perceptions about LGBTQ+ culture by capturing the intimate lives of a tightly-knit group of drag performers, proving that being othered never felt so familiar.” Wish we were there!!

Exciting to be participating @matsymposium today! Important contributions already by farmers, scholars and activists #food4thought #plantbased #regenerativeagriculture
We spent some time as part of the #AFINO network for responsible research and innovation @hovdegaardhotel - a historical site where one of the most prestigious #husmorskole or housewife schools in Norway used to be. Full of great images and reminders that transitioning to urbanised gendered labour and food economies required training! — can we train for other desired food futures? #credokompetansesenter

Rebeca says about her talk:
"In this talk, I will present part of my fieldwork in Galicia, in the north of Spain where a traced the human-animal relations in a small village there. I will reflect on a particular kind of love for animals that is condensed in the Spanish word gustar. The love implied in gustar stretches all the way from the attentive care for a beloved animal, to its slaughtering, its dedicated cooking, and the savouring of its meat during a festive meal."
