The performative conference "The Black Pixel & the Photo Retoucher" has been selected to be part of the "Table of Experiences", as part of the event "The Role of Archives in Contemporary Creation". Its goal is to promote the opening of archives—both public and private—with the aim of establishing them as active spaces for research, experimentation, and cultural production. It also seeks to generate networks, foster synergies, and share methodologies between creators and institutions.

Selection of "A Piece of Paper" in the programme "Germinal. Nosotras Contamos". The pieces in "Germinal" belong to filmmakers who are beginning to make their voices heard with strength, sometimes with doubts, but always with desire. In all of them, there is a shared urgency: to look, to tell stories from the body, from play or from wounds. NOSOTRAS CONTAMOS is an initiative by Mujeres de Cine, a leading organisation in the promotion of Spanish cinema made by women.

A poetic lecture-performance exploring joy, resistance, and the idea of home, reclaiming hope through small acts of defiance and memory. Presented during TNT festival at Terrassa, Barcelona.

"Meeting lights in the changing room" is a work-in-progress installation created in collaboration with Miguel Ruz, and composed of lamps found throughout Noranje's studio building and placed together in the former karate school changing room. The soundscape, built as a collage of field recordings and online public-space sounds, interacts and plays with the synchronized lights. It was shown as part of Groot Rotterdam Atelier Weekend.

Inspired by the theme "garden", 13 members of FilmDak are working on a second collective editing project. The idea is to collaboratively build a 'loose narrative' by contributing short, personal video segments, text, and sound: Each participant will create a 1-minute-long sequence and add it to the end of the shared timeline. This work was publicly presented during GRAW at Filmdak on 20-21 September.

The "Black Pixel" is a feminist and ephemeral digital anarchiving project that took
place between 2021 and 2022 during my work in a photo retouching company. The
Photo Retoucher, halfway between the performative conference and the
autoethnographic account, is a narrative project, which, through written or spoken text,
narrates and activates this anarchivistic practice. The performance was part of the exhibition Language(s), curated by Sweet Scope studio.

The short film "A Piece of Paper" took part of the film programme curated by Ine Lamers to be part of her project "Reverse Affinities", within the exhibition Onderstroom, organised by Het Lage Noorden. The programe included films by Arabella Turner, Jingfeng Shen, Veere van Gent, Tessa Langeveld, Rodolfo Ferro and Rossella Nisio.

Noranje open studio event showing works by Lotte de Jong, Aitana López Rodrigo and Steve Kerr.

Three time periods trace the before, during, and after of a job dismissal. Through a sensorial gaze, the film deploys a choreography of voices to explore the fissures between bureaucracy and humanity and to open an urgent and current field of discussion: how to counteract the violence hidden in neoliberal languages.

Collective video installation. Basements and attics are places where we hide precious things, old memories, or forgotten objects, but they are also spaces for experimentation and trial. In its first presentation outside the TOT building, FilmDak has descended from the attic to the basement to present FilmDakLeaks, a site-specific work that serves as a collective statement.

"Una lección fotográfica" ("A Photographic Lesson") is part of the Short short short list of l'Alternativa Festival. "Polyphinc bodies", presents brief audiovisual pieces exploring the soundscapes of bodies, including their musicality, onomatopoeias, voices, listening capabilities and the endless audible registers that inhabit it.

Directed by Joan Fontcuberta, Laia Casanova and Albert Gusi, the festival is born with the vocation of doing critical pedagogy of the image aimed at an audience increasingly immersed in visual environments and therefore with a will to serve. The festival proposes a space of knowledge and reflection between the still image and the moving image.

NOSYMMETRIES is an Idensitat project which, within the Creative Europe Care Ecologies programme, engages in research and the activation of artistic processes which tackle various kinds of social inequality. Based upon a residency, its following exhibition, and a symposium, our intention has been to explore the concepts of ​​critical imagination and social creativity, understanding the relationship between them as a collective process embracing a variety of perspectives. Dissidence, disputes, vio

"Dismissal matrix" (engraved wood; 29x21×0,02 cm.) is a generative wooden plate (matrix) that I use to reproduce embossed paper. In it, I engraved (almost burnt) my interventions during my dismissal meeting on a multinational company.

Flying Ideas is a collective space for works-in-progress. We recognise that the processes of development in between finished works are where we spend most of our time. Yet, this time is often hidden, or if anything is whispered about; it is rarely brought to the forefront, instead attention is focused on the 'final' outcome.

Are we having a conversation? Who or what is God to you? Where can we find healing? Isn’t it always the same quest? The same matter of mankind, of image-making, of image-making mankind? How are you angry? Is there anywhere to hide? And, will we unmake the world? What is the social impact of artificial intelligence on lens-based image culture?
