Bolloisla is a proposal for a counter urbanized queer utopia that takes the shape of a videogame. Envisioned and created by Blanca Arias, this millennial cyberfantasy generates a space for escape that raises questions around the vulnerability of bodies, the collective management of pain, the hacking of gaze commands, and around collective organization outside of cis-heteropatriarchal and colonial politics.
blanca arias (ella/elle) is an artist, researcher, witch and lesbian, committed to love and critique. Born in Barcelona in 1998 under the sign of scorpio, she feels especially responsible for the creation of creative networks for worlds that can be experienced more fully by all bodies. Some of her recurring lines of work are the exploration of femininity as resistance, her link with vulnerability, myth as a point for flight and intimacy, or anti-normative knowledge circuits with regards to witchery. She graduated in Art History from the University of Barcelona and is currently studying a Master’s Degree in Comparative Literature, Art and Thought at Pompeu Fabra University.
