trans*feminism
Ren Loren Britton
Ren Loren Britton is an artist, researcher, activist, and practitioner whose work focuses on reimagining access, and anti-ableist cultural practices exploring non-normative time, linguistic nonlinear structures, at the intersections of arts, technology and pedagogy holding spaces for diverse temporalities. In this podcast, we delve into Radical access, Access riders, Access servers and the edges of access. We also think of access as feelings, access as a mood and a-temporal desire. We also talk about stretching time, the slipperiness of the lived experience, trans*disabled lineages, histories of other past(s), the burden of remembering, the weight of datasets and unforgetting as an act of caring.
Purita Pelayo
Purita Pelayo is a writer, photographer and human rights activist, and a key voice in the fight for LGBITQ+ rights in the Republic of Ecuador. Her unusual sensitivity from a very young age soon blossomed into a pressing need to improve living conditions for the trans community in her country. In this podcast, we join Purita in exploring her vitality and life force, and the life that she has lived unapologetically. A sensitive woman for whom activism became one of many ways of inhabiting the world, Purita is now mainly working from the trenches of culture to preserve Ecuador’s trans memory and make it sustainable, based on a huge archive of photographs that she has taken and kept for decades.
