Cruda Collective

Cruda Collective is formed by Laila Saber Rodriguez (CAI-CDMX) and Andrea Galano Toro (CL, ES), based between Barcelona and the Netherlands. The duo aims to re-enchant the ways in which we approach and tell stories through rewilding practices. Within Cruda's practice, rewilding means embracing precarious cycles such as collapse, death, hybridity, and rebirth in the way we produce and speculate on knowledge(s). Rewilding activates the wild, the playful, and the failures of storytelling and mythology. In this way, they dance and enchant other worlds and voices, such as landscapes, elements, and monsters. Cruda seeks to reconfigure linear conditions and inhabit a hybrid ecosystem of symbiosis and emergence through workshops, audiovisual performances with films, and conjuring practices.
