Welcome to the Refugia!

This web site is a project of the subRosa art collective! This is where we store many of the pamphlets, web sites, and other materials that supplement our performances, installations and workshops.

What is subRosa?

subRosa is a mutable (cyber)feminist art collective combining art, social activism and politics to explore and critique the intersections of information and bio technologies on women’s bodies, lives and work. Since its founding in 1998, subRosa has developed situated, trans-disciplinary, performative, and discursive practices that create open-ended environments where participants engage with objects, texts, digital technologies, and critical learning experiences interacting with each other and the artists.

Is subRosa available for lectures or new projects?

Yes! All inquiries are welcome. Please allow as much advance notice as possible. subRosa enjoys creating new projects, performances, lectures, and workshops that are relevant to the particular place in which they are seen or performed. You can reach us via the "contact" page on this site.
