Current research
My current PhD research project entitled Sinvergüencería: A Decolonial Aesthetic Strategy in Feminist Queer Latinx Disidentificatory Performance addresses the intersection between sexuality and racialization as articulated in contemporary feminist queer Latinx performance. Under the rubric of sinvergüencería, I identify artworks that evince manifestations of gender, sexual and racial violence as a legacy of colonialism. From an embodied engagement with the archives of colonialism, these artworks propound the relational pleasures of shame as anti-assimilationist possibilities of belonging through performances of disidentification.
