Ruderal plants, we are the plants that grow among the rubble. Inhabitants of roadsides, abandoned fields, ruins. Bad weeds. Survivors of the destructive system, temporary, small, agile to come and go, creating a lot and fast, uninvited and stubborn. We learn to flourish in a damaged world, to grow between the cracks of cement. We do not fit well in the rows of the garden, we have no economic value. We are not even from here, the twists and turns of human history have brought us to this land at this time. But perhaps, deep in our roots and in the green of our leaves, lies a forgotten virtue of healing capacity.
Rudera is an open, collaborative and transdisciplinary framework, with a feminist and environmentalist perspective on the ecosocial crisis. Our practice consisted of interventions in ruined spaces, site specific actions and live sessions of sound and video material.
Electropaganism, a speculative spirituality that confronts the need for a profound change of consciousness in our patriarchal and capitalist society.
We are the earthbounds.
Together in a fight for another possible world.
In a creative and healing resistance,
desperate and urgent.
We call ourselves pagans: because we understand the importance of the stories that tell stories, the power of collective rituals and the diversity we hold. 
We reject patriarchal capitalism and its anthropocentric God.

This is an act of liberation.
Free our minds in a T.A.Z: Temporarily Autonomous Zone.
Rave. Festival. Ritual. Uprising.
Creating a time and a space for another possible life.
We seek a refuge from the genocide, extinction, torture and domination of the Anthropocene.
To be less human beings, more living beings.
We will learn the music of the plants;
of moss and lichen;
of cockroaches and mice.
We will make choir with the wind and the rain,
with stones and iron,
one with the other.
We shall howl like she-wolves at the moon, practice witchcraft and make love for pleasure.
Here in the ruins rule the chthulucenic practices,
tentacular thoughts,
way of doing compost.
