malignant creatures
workshop, 2023
Drawing from a selection of fantastical stories from Abya Yala, participants are invited to collectively imagine a series of characters and atmospheres in which the terrifying and the uncanny shape the material qualities of their creations. By the end of the workshop, each participant will take home a video documenting their piece, along with a set of bibliographic materials related to Latin American horror and fantastic literature. This is a theoretical–practical, collaborative workshop that requires no prior knowledge, inviting participants to give form to their fears, anxieties, and terrors.
This first iteration was carried out as part of the “Crear con Orgullo” program organized by the feminist collective Trenzar, in their space located in downtown Lima. The workshop lasted three hours and was aimed at women and members of the TLGBIQ+ community.
