I was honored to compose the sound score for this film. Below a description of the project.
As part of the artist's residency in response to climate change at the Instituto Mutante de Narrativas Ambientales (IMNA) and the Centro de Residencias Artísticas de Matadero, artist Andrea Molina proposes the Eco-Fictions Laboratory.
The Eco-Fictions Laboratory is a project that seeks to deepen the use of science fiction narratives as tools with which to design future urban situations in a context of ecological transition.
Throughout history, human beings have used fictions to design the worlds they have longed to address, making through them the imaginaries with which to activate the desire to materialize them. However, the dreams and fictions of the past contradict an increasingly delicate reality, and their stories draw scenarios where even the possibility of life on earth in the long term is denied. Trying to abandon the catastrophic discourse, we believe that there are still options to turn the script around. Why don't we write the fictions that suit us then? With the accompaniment of theoretical references from authors such as Ursula K. Le Guin, Donna Haraway or James Tiptree Jr. who vindicated the resources of fiction and artefacts to project images of a less oppressive and more egalitarian world, but also tracing an archaeology of the local past with which to rescue practices, gestures and imaginaries that have been forgotten, we will try to re-imagine the complex cosmopolitical landscapes that the cities of the future will demand, attending to and caring for the relations between their agents, both human and non-human, and their ecosystems. Perhaps in this way, understanding the idea of fiction not as techno-utopy, but as a collective imaginary narrative of a world that does not exist but is attainable, possible and desirable, we can take the first step towards a new coexistence.
To this end, three key points in the district of Usera will be taken as case studies, for which, from the strategies proposed in the workshop, collective work will be done on the creation of fictional narratives that speculate on its transformation, offering local communities and the general public the option of participating in the imaginary construction of the processes of eco-transition of their own territories. The sessions are open to all types of audiences, regardless of age, and children are especially welcome to participate in the process of translating the narratives into drawings.
