Dissociative states at work (productive)

by La Metro & Letizia Miro

La Metro and Letizia Miro share several concerns, and this synergy makes the political and poetic discourse shared and eager to explore it together. The question “Why are creativity and sex problematic when transactions occur?” brings two worlds, the culture industry and the sex industry, into dialogue. As capitalism continues to turn life into constant production, “Work Addiction and Dissociative States” explores the possibility of other ways of being, beyond the commodification of existence. Can we really dissociate ourselves from work? Or is dissociation itself a form of survival? [With the collaboration of the performers Tur Morán and Ken Pollet].

She has been a producer of body-sensual research laboratories through performance and pole dance. Currently, she is developing her doctoral thesis in Artistic Creation to propose an archive on feminism led by sex workers in the city of Barcelona with the aim of recognizing the memory of the protagonists, honoring their resilience and combating all stigmas.
