Rompendo Regras LAB (2021-22) is a transversal initiative produced by the interaction between professors, students and technicians of several University Faculties and Services including, also, local institutions and social organizations. It is related to “Laboratorios bibliotecarios” (“MediaLabMatadero”). It acts as an intellectual, physical, and digital space focused on exploring new ways of defining dignified and eco-healthy menstruation. It is based upon the confluence of heterogeneous knowledge, organizations and people and the documentation of the processes generated. Nine projects were developed with professors, students and technicians as promoters and collaborators, as well with people outside the University. Actions evolve with a variety of intensity and scope: socio-artistic experiment (I poems, social cartography, performance), specific methodologies (photo-voice and sociological imagination), gather information procedures, knowledge diffusion (seminars, workshop, conferences), environmental actions (Lixo Retrete Campaign) and artifact production (cloth napkins, posters, collages, photographs, games). Applying a transdisciplinary perspective, the projects intertwine institutions and citizenship in non-predetermined ways. Drawing upon the work in specific subject and services the projects diversify formative experiences linking them to external initiatives. In this way, we amplify and diversify a community of practice around menstruation. In addition, we explore alternative paths to performance citizenship in university. |
