Gender Loops
"Gender Loops is a series of meetings where groups of people bring together and question their ideas/perceptions about the concept of gender. This laboratory elaborates, researches and develops the concept of gender from the thoughts that emerge from the group. Starting from a collective proposal, a space for sharing, through play and experimentation, visions of the concept of gender as well as ways to represent them. Some devices also allow for the investigation of different stereotypes of thought and action, with the aim of deconstructing and reconstructing identities. One of the aims of the laboratory is to create a space for critical reflection towards artistic and autopoietic action outside the gender binary. Reflecting on the body, starting from its representative potential, makes it possible to deconstruct the discourses that define it and, subsequently, to generate an ability to recompose its own definition.

Azahara Ubera is a researcher, dancer and choreographer who explores the fields of dance, contemporary art and activism.
One of her main research projects is called Manada. It is a toolbox of different methods that will be activated in different groups and situations, in exhibitions and in hybrid spaces. The aim is to create and collaborate in the creation of a collective knowledge around technologies, transfeminism and postmodernist reflections about the body, gestures, voice and different conversations. Her latest project "Las Respiradoras", an exhibition about architecture and choreography, was created in collaboration with the architect Nerea Calvillo during a three-month exhibition in Madrid at the "Centro Centro". This project is also part of the practices of Somatecx, the feminist-queer research group developed by Paul B. Preciado in 2003 at the M.N.R.S.C. in Madrid.
