By means of a live presentation of images and sounds, Cristina Navarro and Patricia Raijenstein will introduce the current production of the so-called “technoshamanism“ from a feminist point of view. They will follow the question of how the prevantly Latinamerica-based (techno)shaman women make use of visions and sound for magical purposes, and how this is related to the practice of European-origin magical women or witches. A presentation of some current works by female Spanish and Latinamerican artists, reflecting on the shaman or witchcraft uses of images and sound will follow.
