Colectiva Amazonas (Patricia Bernal + Samanta García)
This female collective emerges with the purpose of generating visibilization, celebrating and highlighting the role of women in the electronic arts scene, interested in the construction, appropriation of devices, gear and patches that re-evaluate, reverse and hack the dominant aesthetics that usually don’t represent them.
The union of Colectiva Amazonas is a way of self care, creation and learning to use technology. They started working in 2020 with the Pytonisa project, winning the Data & Genre Hackathon, to speak of the difficulties of access to public education that colombian women face. They have participated in gigs, panels, conferences and spaces dedicated to discuss themes like technofeminism, dissidence and other problems in art, science and technology.
