Mixtape for Her*Decks, to dance around with women* sounds I love, thinking of those cassettes I used to record from the radio, all in a seasoned midnight salad dark, bright and dancy & made with extra love <33

Her*Decks invites women & FLINTA* DJs to play sets produced or performed by female & FLINTA* artists only. 

This was their call for the 8M.

Midnight Salad_HER*_DECKS

Episode for our podcast Down Down Radio, produced during the "New Policies & Afrofuturisms" residency at the University of the Underground and streamed at Wordwide FM (available & infos): https://worldwidefm.net/episode/university-of-the-underground-3

In this episode, we present an audio collage by Yris that takes you through the internal musings of a barista who is both fascinated and concerned about space. During this time, we will put a pause on reality, as you will enter another dimension, filled with sounds of space and space experts mixed with sounds of daily life.

Yris Apsit (*1989, Colombia) is a transdisciplinary artist and researcher in political sciences, gender,and queer studies.

Her previous research works dive around political body aesthetics, looking at their intersection with different artistic media (and creativity), as resistance tools. Other topics of interest are subversion and activism, power dynamics, poetico-politics, vulnerability and care, sexuality and identities.

Her creative practices are film, photography, writing and illustration. This transdisciplinarity is also part of her experimentations with different media, while un-doing knowledge from academia.
