Errant imaginaries: weaving utopias

Why are our daydreams important? Because what we crave, what we long for, can reveal what is truly essential. The pandemic has shed light on the urgent need to change our current systems – economic, political, social and affective. Radical imagination is what we need to envision a change in our society, and then to begin to take action.
At the end of March 2020, we – a group of women who call ourselves Mujeres errantes – started an online collective diary. Born in different parts of Europe and Latin America, we call many different places in Europe home. Our collective diary of imagination has become a place for us to share our feelings and desires. The diary has since developed into a larger initiative that unites the diary with a collective inquiry into existing inspiring models and practices of change using the power of sharing feelings and creativity. This documentary is a first record of this collective process.

Director Biography - Mujeres Errantes, Francesca Cogni

Mujeres errantes is a group of errant womxn, transgressors of emotional frontiers who create emancipatory spaces by embracing their lived experiences to envision other ways of living.
The Mujeres errantes group was initiated in 2018 in Granada by a small group of women as a self-organised, voluntary, collectively managed group where people who identify as “errant womxn” can connect and share experiences through collective creative activities. Since then, this initiative is present at multiple locations and in multiple forms. In January 2021, an autonomous local group in Lisbon - Mulheres errantes - was also established.
Francesca Cogni is a filmmaker and artist. She works with drawing, video and animation, to produce experimental documentations of places, intimate stories and political topics.
