PEMANAGPO
Lerie Pemanagpo (she/they), b. 1990, is a Basel and Barcelona-based artist, director, performer and educator, passionate about creating counter-narratives to the cis-male-dominated and eurocentric tropes of creative technology and science fiction. Their work often appeals to mythologies, rituals, posthumanist and hydrofeminist ideas, intimacy, domesticity and mother*hood.
Pemanagpo holds a Masters degree in philosophy, trained in Butoh dance, physical theatre and Jungian analysis, and currently completes a Master of Science in Digital Arts and Creative Technologies in La Salle Barcelona. They are a part of the committee for Digital Culture of the City of Zürich in 2026, and has been collaborating with institutions across the field of technology and performing and fine arts
Summarising their multi-disciplinary background in creative technology, philosophy, fine arts, theatre, Jungian psychology, astrology and writing, Pemanagpo calls themself “a professional fairy-taler_ess”, as the cornerstone of their work is to explore the collective myths and intimate, mystical and numinous connection with the technonarratives.
