Screening of the essay “Cuerpos anclados, plasma volador: El regime líquido de los fluidos corporales”
(Grounded Bodies, Flying Plasma: The Liquid Regime of Bodily Fluids) by Ivan López Munuera. Bodies are permeable and participate in a continuous exchange of fluids. These fluids circulate, merging desires and destinies, influencing health, and constructing an often unmanifested hydro-community. "Grounded Bodies, Flying Plasma" explores the history of the blood trade and transfusion and its relationship to imperialism and the AIDS crisis.

Screening of the essay “Cuerpos anclados, plasma volador: El regime líquido de los fluidos corporales”
(Grounded Bodies, Flying Plasma: The Liquid Regime of Bodily Fluids) by Ivan López Munuera. Bodies are permeable and participate in a continuous exchange of fluids. These fluids circulate, merging desires and destinies, influencing health, and constructing an often unmanifested hydro-community. "Grounded Bodies, Flying Plasma" explores the history of the blood trade and transfusion and its relationship to imperialism and the AIDS crisis.
The film challenges the idea of bodies as hermetic, autonomous entities and proposes their environmental reconfiguration as interconnected, interdependent entities. Using documentary evidence and new audiovisual materials, the film analyzes the Hemo-Caribbean enterprise and its hemo-geography of laboratories, hospitals and other architectures that filter and define bodies. Their spatial regimes are designed to circulate plasma, but not the human bodies that contain it.
