COKO Happening:The Origin Of The Future by Aline Olmos Steler

Have you ever searched for signs about the future? Maybe in coffee grounds, palm lines, tarot cards, or the stars above?What if we told you that some of you have been producing your own means of making sense of the future?Right between legs leaks a forgotten oracle: vaginal discharge. Imprinted on underwear.And now is the time to revive it.By interpreting signs left every day in billions of panties, we confront premonitions, desires, fears, and visceral disgust.For years these fluids have been sending messages to us. Are there dooms or hopes making our underwear wet?Aline Olmos Steler collects a phantasmagorical universe: Guided by an enigmatic curator through an exhibition of oracular underwear, alongside allies ranging from the herbaceous to the cretaceous, you are invited to decode intimate prophecies, ascertain humanity’s future, and indeed transcend space, time, biological species, and fate itself.

ABOUT ALINE OLMOS STELER

Aline Olmos Steler is a Brazilian theater director, clown, and performer based in Amsterdam. She has recently graduated at DAS Theater, and from 2025 to 2027, she will be a resident artist at both Right About Now (Netherlands) and Mestizo Arts Platform (Belgium). Her artistic practice is guided by techniques of accumulation and layering, using chaos, absurdity, and humor as forms of language.

Interested in what lies at the margins, her research explores themes such as vaginal discharge, dream, excrement, female masturbation, the non-sexualized vulva, piracy, and hacking technologies. Her work exists between popular theater and circus references, engaging in dialogue with elements of contemporary art and post-dramatic theater. Her creations, often built from household materials, embrace a DIY aesthetic that brings the artist and audience closer together while questioning who gets to be an artist and who gets to be an audience in late capitalism.

As co-director of the ultraVioleta_s collective, she creates both solo and collective works. She is currently developing the Trilogy of Satiety composed of: The Rediscovery of the Future – Oracular Practices; In Love with a Table, I Sat on It – Masturbatory Practices; I Want to Be You – Practices of Cover and Piracy.
