teknodrag

TEKNODRAG begins its career by activating a Research laboratory at Graner Fàbrica de Creació (June 2021) with an opening in the form of a performance within the Ethnographic Museum of Barcelona (Creació i Museus program, ICUB Barcelona). Based on this experience and the result of subsequent conversations, the work team decided to establish itself as an artistic collective, with creation, mediation and dissemination as objectives. We coordinate and facilitate workshops on Drag Technologies in Sarean, Bilbao in the Gau Irekia context (October and December 2021). We present the performance CUERPA PANCARTA in the exhibition 'Drag and colonialism, colonial influences in Drag aesthetics' within the framework of La Tabakalera, Donostia (November 2021) and ARTIFICIALIA DESTERRADA at Festival Hacker Porn, Rome (December 2021). We carry out the children's workshop on transvestism Drag Kids! at MACBA (January 2022), Salmon Festival (February 2022), Mercat de les Flors (May 2022) and TNT Festival (October 2022). In July 2022 we are invited to participate in the Grec Festival program, in the form of a site-specific performance for the reopening of the El Molino stage space.

TEKNODRAG is a collective of transfeminist and migrant artists that generate transdisciplinary contexts from Drag Art. Our artistic objective is to expand the politics of the performative and the image to give new possibilities of action to the discipline of Drag and Transformism, addressing different contexts such as stage research, workshops, laboratory and social mediation actions that include our experiences such as the migration and transgenderism.
