domestic anarchism is a research project initiated by Andrea Zavala Folache & Adriano Wilfert Jensen experimentingwith re-choreographing infrastructures of artistic collaboration, production, and presentation. We explore how childcare can inspire changes in artistic practice while testing artistic methodologies as tools for family abolition and coalition-building between artists, institutions, and audiences.
Co-producers and venues:
Lieu D’Arts Contemporain – Sigean, School for Temporary Liveness at The Kitchen – New York City, MDT – Stockholm, Dansehallerne – Copenhagen, Kanuti Gildi Saal – Tallinn, Battersea Arts Center – London.
Supported by: Statens Kunstfond, Augustinus Fonden, Wilhelm Hansen Fonden, William Demant Fonden, Jan van Eyck Academie.
As part of the project domestic anarchism, we have been experimenting with multiple formats, choreographic experiments and presentations: workshops, publications, interactive installations, participative performances, dance performances, and other hybrid formats:
domestic anarchism: bailes & zona de juego hosts at once a performance and an interactive installation, the series of books sex&place, which is often accompanied by a workshop prior to the performance.
Created in collaboration and cohabitation with
Alissa Šnaider, Emma Daniel, Lauren Bakst, Lisa Schåman, HaYoung, Jennifer Lacey, Malcolm-x Betts & Louise Paolo de Venecia Gile
And toured between 2024 and 2026 in these international venues.

domestic anarchism: köket
A workshop for artists, cultural workers, people with childcare responsabilities and anyone interested in the relations and tensions between social reproduction and artistic production. In the workshop we (Adriano&Andrea) share their methodologies at work and open up a conversation dealing with these questions and other questions:
How can social reproduction needs inspire changes in modes of artistic production?
How can artistic practice inspire different ways of organising social reproduction?
Is it possible to both abolish the family and do group dancing?
