Wonders Wander

GPS تسترشد يمشي لمواجهة جرائم الكراهية و الشواذ نوفو مدريد.

Launched in conjunction with Madrid Pride 2017, WW (Wonders Wander) app. proposes off-beat walks to counter hate crimes and connect with the nouveau queer generation of Madrid. Barrio Malasaña, known by Madrid residents as Maravillas (wonders), was once the countercultural hub of La Movida Madrileña and now hip and trendy with tourists. Departing from this Madrid Centre’s rebellious past, Wonders Wander, a four episode mobi-web-serial, takes the wonders out of Malasaña to explore off-the-mainstream nouveau queer generation that includes refugees, migrants, functional diversity, transfeminista, transfeminism, open family, subversive motherhoods, sustainable living, and the rise of auto-defense practices for self-empowerment. Wonders Wander with its gps guided city-walks tracks sites of documented homo-trans-phobic attacks that extend to peripheral Madrid. Along the way, Wonders Wander’s four episodes, filmed respectively at Lavapies, Vaciador, La Dragona and 12 towers in Vallecas are embedded for download on site. With a magic realism twist and fantasia narratives, the four episodes, titled “With witches, we move”, “As the wheels meet”, “You are mine, only mine”, “Understand?” recount tales of queer resistance with relentless defiance, seductive sensuality and vigorous passion.
