How does heat influence your life trajectory?
On Thursday May 7, at 18h, La Capella will host an opening session of the research process Al Calor devenimos hembras, <\/em>a project by Luca Carrubba and Mar\u00eda Ignacia Ibarra developed over the last two months in the framework of the Barcelona CREA 2025 – HacTe Grant: “Knowing-Not-Knowing: Arid Territories”.<\/p>\n\n In this community return meeting we will present the progress, in notes format, of a creative research process around sea turtles: a non-systematic study in relation to heat. We will listen to recordings, interpret texts, feel and think cartographies, and draw the next steps of this research. <\/p>\n\n During the research residency, Carrubba and Ibarra explored the effects of the climate crisis and environmental coloniality based on a very specific biopolitical phenomenon: sex determination in the sea turtles that inhabit the coasts near Barcelona. Due to the increase in sea temperature and, especially, in the sand where they nest, loggerhead turtles(caretta caretta<\/em>) are undergoing an accelerated process of feminization. <\/p>\n\n Beca Barcelona Crea 2025, with the support of the Institut de Cultura – Ajuntament de Barcelona.
