Moonblood is an immersive video spell by Annika Kappner and Lucy Cordes Engelman that explores earth’s cyclicality through the lens of menstruation and ancient mother/goddess worship across the planet. Drawing on ecofeminist and technofeminist thought, the project challenges the linear logic of the Capitalocene while proposing that cycles—birth and death, expansion and contraction, inhale and exhale—might be a transformative framework for living. Guided by the voice(s) of an ancient yet futuristic tech doula, visitors journey through histories of suppressed matrilineal knowledge toward speculative futures rooted in balance and reciprocity. Through moving image, archival material, collective movement, somatic exercises, scent, and sound, the work creates a sensorial environment for embodied reflection. Moonblood ultimately invites participants to reimagine their relationship to nature, technology, and the sacred by embracing the power and wisdom of cyclical existence.
We will start with a collective somatic ritual guided by Lucy and Annika, then experience the screening of Moonblood, followed by group conversations and sharings on topics of identity, ecology, technocapitalism, gender and cyclicality.

Moonblood is an ongoing iterative project supported by the Stimuleringsfonds. Different versions have been shown at affect lab, Creative Europe, WORM Rotterdam, and MU Hybrid Art House.
Moonblood is part of The Holistic Technology Salon (HTS). HTS is co-produced and supported by V2_ Lab for the Unstable Media, which has provided an institutional home and ongoing support for the collective’s research and development over the past three years. V2_ fellows Annika Kappner and Ginevra Petrozzi pursue their research within the Salon in collaboration with Sieta van Horck, who is both a member of the collective and works at V2_ as project manager and researcher of this research line. This constellation brings together artistic research, collective inquiry and institutional practice, allowing the Salon to evolve through an ongoing exchange between individual explorations and shared experimentation.
