# Concept and Context
|
||||
|
||||
Biotranslab. Bio.electro.chemistry and their intra active entanglements. Bio-trans-lab, conceived and coordinated by Paula Pin from Pechblendalab[^1], is one of the multiple disruptive nodes of Hackteria[^2], is a nomadic laboratory open to experimentation with the body and technology, based on the proposal to learn by doing. As a queer transhackfeminist science laboratory (s), this lab seeks the opening of a particular space-time, a place for the confluence of cyber-cyborgs, cyberwitches and alchemists.
|
||||
|
||||
An invitation to experiment and be traversed by the practical experience of noiSEX disturbance, DIWO or DIT tools, fluids and non-static bodies. It is precisely this extended and non-static body, the tentacular, becoming the condition of possibility to be crossed by the performativity of matter, moving us beyond mere individuality, performing science through collective doings.
|
||||
|
||||
Starting from the review of evolutionary biology in the contemporary context, the origin of life is understood here as a turbulence of fluids, a metaphor of the new biosophies of collision, friction and symbiosis of entities. One of the biotranslab proposals is to think of us as a constantly changing subject, multiple existences that are no longer defined and do not focus on the division between object and subject. A configuration of other possible narratives that no longer conform to the binarism inherited from modern Western culture.
|
||||
|
||||
We flow and become, change and tans-form (c) tion, we are the constant re-articulation of complex entities, of uncertain transits and bio-processes, we are meta-organic entities, degenerate post.formations, we are the negation of the pre-existence through the traces that leave the desire and the affections.
|
||||
|
||||
# Open Science Friction
|
||||
|
||||
Affections that propose an Open Science Friction as Pin feel it as a set of noises, a sound disturbance against the systemic reductionism of the science, the collective articulation of a degenerated existence.
|
||||
|
||||
In this context, the lab is understood as a collective ritual of fluids, an entanglement of bodies, devices, codes, frequencies and waves.
|
||||
|
||||
BioTRANSlab is entangled in Open Science Friction, a biohacker perspective that conceives knowledge from the experience of the body, an expression and transformation of the inherited self, a distancing of individuality through friction and connection.
|
||||
|
||||
# Performance of knowledge
|
||||
|
||||
This performance of knowledge (Karen Barad) is for Pin essentially the process of learning by doing, the body is rubbing with other agencies and through which are constantly made changes that modify the results, which involves a constant flow through the cracks of space-time. A fermentation, a movement of transit that moves quickly towards an explosive and expansive movement, towards radical experiments, towards a strong collective confidence.
|
||||
|
||||
It moves in the attempt to escape from the biopolitical codes that hold our body(s) to relate in a different way, to re-articulate an open ecosystem, beyond the anthropocentric paradigm.
|
||||
|
||||
An expanded soul-searching of free technologies, situated knowledge, biopunk, cyborg_witches, hardware, software and wetware.
|
||||
|
||||
[^1]: Pechblenda lab is a interdisciplinary lab for reserch into bio-electrical-chemical devices, originally started by members Pin, Klau and Julito. Pechblenda lab was born out of the necessity to generate a space in Calafou (a community in a large former industrial space 50 Km out of Barcelona – see: calafou.org) for us to flourish, a non-patriarchal TransHackFeminist space where free knowledge springs from raw experimentation (electronic repairs, experiments with turbines, bioelectrochemistry, sound .... ) and self education.

title: "Pirate Care: Learning From Disobedience"
|

|
||||
|
||||
> We live in a world where captains get arrested for saving people's lives on the sea; where a person downloading scientific articles faces 35 years in jail; where people risk charges for bringing contraceptives to those who otherwise couldn't get them. Folks are getting in trouble for giving food to the poor, medicine to the sick, water to the thirsty, shelter to the homeless. And yet our heroines care and disobey. They are pirates.
|
||||
|
||||
The exhibition *Pirate Care* is an introduction to the increasingly present forms of activism at the intersection of "care" and "piracy", which are trying to intervene in one of the most important challenges of our time, that is, the "crisis of care".
|
||||
|
||||
Throughout our lives we depend on the support of our family, friends, strangers and institutions to sustain ourselves - and to sustain the world in which we and the future generations have to live. That social and ecological interdependency defines the relations of care. The effort to sustain them the labour of care.
|
||||
|
||||
Yet, the convergence of processes that include the rollback of welfare, imposition of workfare, attacks on reproductive rights and the criminalisation of migration have denied that vital support to many.
|
||||
|
||||
Against these processes, the practices of pirate care share a readiness to disobey laws and orders whenever these stand in the way of solidarity — and politicise that disobedience to change the *status quo*. That makes them *pirate* care.
|
||||
|
||||
The exhibition builds on the *Pirate Care Syllabus*. The first version of the Syllabus was created in November 2019 during a writing retreat in Rijeka with the activists of pirate care. We have originally planned to organise in September of this year a get-together to collectively learn from the Syllabus. This was not meant to be.
|
||||
|
||||
Nonetheless, here you are. We invite you to learn from the practices of pirate care. We invite you to mirror them in solidarity!

When Cédric Herrou was handcuffed and taken to jail by a few police officers, the news worldwide portrayed him as a criminal. One didn't even have to ask why but assumed that helping illegal crossings of migrants from Italy to France was terribly wrong. The mere fact that he helped an *illegal* migrant move justified the ways the repressive apparatus of the state treated him - publicly handcuffed and subjected to further punitive procedures. Accused of smuggling and taken into four-month custody, Herrou was brought to a trial. The trial was turned against Herrou both in the courtroom and publicly as helping the illegal crossings of refugees was strongly condemned. However, a few months later, the principle of *fraternity* enshrined in the French constitution lead to Herrou's [release](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-europe-migrants-france-court/french-farmer-who-helped-migrants-showed-fraternity-court-rules-idUSKBN1JW25S), as it conferred the freedom to provide humanitarian assistance and help others regardless whether they were legally or illegally present on the territory.

A recently published report  discusses prosecution of more than 40 individuals who dared to assist migrants and refugees in crossing the sea or land borders irregularly. It covers case studies that speak to the rigidity of migration management and regulation of civic disobedience-in-solidarity with migrants and refugees. A recent [case of a war veteran Dragan Umičević](https://www.portalnovosti.com/dragan-umicevic-kazna-meni-je-poruka-drugima) of [Are You Syrious](https://euractiv.jutarnji.hr/en/politics-and-society/migrations/humanitarian-ngos-under-assault-from-radicals-spurned-by-authorities/8078207/), who helped a group of refugees including six children freezing in winter at the Croatian-Serbian border, or [Scott Warren of No more deaths](https://www.thenewhumanitarian.org/news/2019/06/07/creeping-criminalisation-humanitarian-aid) in Arizona who helped two undocumented migrants along the US-Mexico border, or a volunteer and Syrian refugee [Sarah Mardini of Emergency Response Centre International](https://www.thenewhumanitarian.org/feature/2019/05/02/refugee-volunteer-prisoner-sarah-mardini-and-europe-s-hardening-line-migration), who was arrested for her humanitarian work in Moira camp, or a ship captain [Carola Rackete of Sea-Watch](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E-p8_V40Wvk), who docked the migrant rescue ship in the port of Lampedusa without authorization, or a [mayor of Riace Domenico Lucano](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2018/oct/02/pro-refugee-italian-mayor-arrested-suspicion-aiding-illegal-migration-domenico-lucano-riace), who was arrested under accusation of aiding illegal immigrants - all those events speak strongly of clampdown on solidarity actions with migrants and refugees. These people and their organization, just as numerous others that stay invisible and hidden from public sight, have come under state prosecution instrumentalizing the rigid anti-smuggling legal provisions. Fekete notes that "The emergence of autonomous migrant and refugee solidarity movements and the lengths individuals were prepared to go to help were perceived by states as a threat to their control of borders."

Criminalization of solidarity through humanitarian assistance represents violation of the international humanitarian law and international human rights law as well as a violation of constitutions and legislations of liberal democracies. It is also deeply counter-human and counter-social. Yet, the production of fear and danger has been extremely pervasive, thus deteriorating social trust and deepening the harm perpetuated against refugees and migrants.
|
||||
|
||||
Such political tendencies call for anti-hegemonic counter-actions that can create openings for envisioning possibilities of creating solidarity and radicalizing both political spaces and our responses. The sessions that follow offer a pedagogy that invites people and groups who are willing to act locally in this transnationally connected political space to reconsider how to tackle the complexities of criminalization of solidarity. The pedagogical ideas here are calling for a critical shift and a politicization of these troubled realities.

# Power Makes Us Sick (PMS)
|
||||
|
||||
Power Makes Us Sick (PMS) is an international collective that researches and supports autonomous health from an insurrectionary, anti-authoritarian, and feminist perspective. PMS seeks to understand the ways that our mental, physical, and social health is impacted by imbalances in and abuses of power. We want to share the good news of folks coming together to overcome that while supporting our collective health and wellbeing. We understand that mobility, forced or otherwise, is an increasingly common aspect of life today. PMS is motivated to develop free tools of solidarity, resistance, and sabotage that are informed by a deep concern for planetary well-being.
|
||||
|
||||
Our stated interest in autonomous health encompasses the mental, physical, and social aspects. Increasingly, though, we've been focused on collecting resources to support emotional health and wellbeing. There are a few practical reasons motivating this. Perhaps firstly, some of us suffer from mental health conditions that can make it difficult to function. Fighting back, bashing back, and generally creating visibility around this are actions that feel healing and so we do them.

Much of our work happens through trial and error, is embodied and starts in small conversations that we try to translate back for a wider audience. When we got invited to work on the Syllabus, though, it seemed natural that we could use that time and space to organize all of our material, get a better grasp on the history of the work of autonomous emotional support and where it has come from, and really have some dedicated time to scour and wade through it all. We were suprised to find that when we did that, we found that others might have already attempted to put out a 'best practices' guide before, but perhaps in a very different time and place or in different waves of social upheaval. All in all, we loved the opportunity to put this together for others to use, and to work on it alongside some other really amazing people and projects.
|
||||
|
||||
We'll come out with a publication focused on autonomous emotional support sometime in the coming months that delves more into some of the ways we've seen folks already practicing this right now, contains more of the guidelines we have put together, and generally mirrors the kind of content you're more used to seeing come from PMS. This syllabus stands alone as a way to step ones toes into the work of developing autonomous emotional support. We think it would be best served for those who want to pick a few of the sessions and go through them with others who want to do this work together; the discussion questions could serve as a jumping off point for some of the conversations that will need to happen.
