The presentation will focus on an reseach-driven artistic project entitled “The Formaldenyde trip” that consists on a series of videos, songs and performances dedicated to a murdered indigenous environmental activist.
Addressing racialized women’s stories of resistance against dispossession of their lands, cultures and bodies, the presentation will unfold strategies from an artistic research project engaged with a queer of color perspective inciting demands for decolonization.
