Refugia Manifesto for Becoming Autonomous Zones (BAZ) “A place of relatively unaltered climate that is inhabited by plants and animals during a period of continental climate change (as a glaciation) and remains as a center of relict forms from which a new dispersion and speciation may take place after climatic readjustment.” (Webster’s New Collegiate Dictionary, 1976)
Sections of agricultural fields planted with non-transgenic crops, alternating with transgenic crops. This is thought to limit the rate of resistance mutation caused in susceptible insect and weed species by gene transfer from GE mono-culture crops.
A Becoming Autonomous Zone (BAZ) of desirous mixings and recombinations; splicing female sexual liberation and autonomy with cyberfeminist skills, theory, embodiment, and political activism.
A critical space of liberated social becoming and intellectual life; a space liberated from capitalist Taylorized production; a space of unregulated, unmanaged time for creative exchange and play; experimental action and learning; desiring production, cooking, eating, and skill sharing.
A reproducible concept that can be adapted to various climates, economies, and geographical regions worldwide. Any useless space can be claimed as a refugium: suburban lawns, vacant urban lots, rooftops, the edges of agricultural lands, clear-cut zones in forests, appropriated sections of mono-culture fields; fallow land, weed lots, transitional land, battle-fields, office-buildings, squats, etc. Also currently existing Refugia such as multi-cultivar rice paddies, companion planted fields, organic farms, home vegetable gardens, etc.
A post-modern commons; a resistant biotech victory garden; a space of convivial tinkering; a commonwealth in which common law rules. Not a retreat, but a space resistant to mono-culture in all its social, environmental, libidinal, political, and genetic forms.
A habitat for new AMOs (Autonomously Modified Organism) and agit-crops; for example, “ProActiva,” an herb that is a grafting of witch-root, mandrake, and all-heal.
A place of asylum for the recuperation, regeneration and revitalization of useless GE crops that have been corrupted by capitalist viruses and agribusiness greed.
A place of imaginative inertia that slows down the engines of corporate agro/biotech and allows time to assess its risks and benefits through long-term testing.
Neither a utopia nor a dystopia, but a haunted space for reverse engineering, monstrous graftings, spontaneous generation, recombination, difference, poly-versity hybridization, wildlings, mutations, mongrelizing, crop circles, anomalies, useless beauty, coalitions, agit-crops, and unseemly sproutings. Biotech and transgenic work in Refugia will be based on desire, consensual public risk assessment, informed amateur experimentation, contestational politics, nourishment and taste value, non-proprietary expertise, convivial delight, and healing.
subRosa’s on-going cyberfeminist hothouse of strategies and tactical actions.

subRosa se definen a sí mismas como un "colectivo (cyber)feminista mutable que combina arte, activismo social y política para explorar y criticar las intersecciones entre información y biotecnologías en los cuerpos, vidas y trabajos de las mujeres" (4). El nacimiento del grupo se remonta al año 1998 con un grupo de lectura feminista fundado por Faith Wilding en la Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) como parte de una residencia artística "STUDIO for Creative Inquiry" dentro de esta institución. La agrupación iniciada por Wilding trabajó en la investigación "Sex and Gender in the Biotech Century" y se dedicaba a discutir textos feministas sobre "género, raza, reproducción y la labor femenina en relación a las bio-ciencias, la imagen digital y las nuevas tecnologías que estaban empezando a usarse en los campos emergentes de las ciencias informáticas y las prácticas de las artes electrónicas" (1). En sus inicios el colectivo estuvo conformado por investigadoras, artistas, estudiantes y académicas de la CMU que discutían diversos textos(1). El primer proyecto interactivo web de subRosa fue SmartMom(5) y abordo el desarrollo del, en ese entonces, nuevo campo médico de las Tecnologías Reproductivas Asistidas (TRA) y el creciente control médico, reproductivo y estatal de los cuerpos de las mujeres, la sexualidad, el embarazo y el parto (6). En la actualidad subRosa se constituye por Hyla Willis y Faith Wilding quienes aunado a su constante comunicación vía telefónica y correo electrónico se reúnen de manera ocasional para emprender exhaustivas sesiones de trabajo en la que piensan en proyectos futuros (1). Desde su constitución, el colectivo ha presentado performances exhibiciones, conferencias y publicaciones en países como los Estados Unidos, España, el Reino Unido, Holanda, Alemania, Croacia, Macedonia, México, Canadá, Eslovenia y Singapur (4).
