We are a cross-border collective of dissident, migrant, travesti, trans and non-binary bodies who activate art as a practice of resistance. Our practice is born from the crossing of territories, from sexylios, from the desire to construct affections and queer genealogies that challenge the colonial frameworks using our representation.
The collective that presents this activation is comprised of six migrant bodies from different territories of Abya Yala: Daniela Núñez (Costa Rica), Roma Murua (Argentina), Facunda Aisa (Argentina), Luciana Peña (Chile) and Norma Pérez (Chile). Our meeting is a strategy of survival economies confronting a modern-colonial-capitalist system that annihilates our forms of existence. We resist from different realities so that we can meet, ally ourselves and make our voices vibrate in contexts marked by normativity.
We are united by the desire to hack the colonial devices of art and institutional memory, infiltrating the museum not to integrate ourselves, but to overwhelm it with our own logics: non-linear, non-archival, and alive. This action is part of a broader process of aesthetic disobedience, queer activation and symbolic reparation for the bodies that have been historically expelled from the official narrative.
