I study different forms of artistic collaborations, specifically “creación colectiva,” the Latin American counterpart of devised theatre. I am interested in how collective efforts can serve as strategies for survival in times of turbulent politics. Although it is true that “together we stand strong,” it is also true that this thinking can provoke confrontations between groups. In contrast, I explore how collectivities can imagine new reconfigurations and be open to change and inclusion. This is why I study how the connections between academia, art and activism (or artivism) challenge processes of exclusion and disenfranchisement. I have recently worked on the role that Latin American Antigones play in defying authoritarianism and how sisterhood and solidarity are sorely needed to achieve social justice. 

My research, published both in English and Spanish, fluctuates between theory and practice, critical and race theory and political engagement. I challenge the borders of academic research to explore the limits and potentialities of what makes us both different and relatable, all from the perspective of intersectional and transnational feminisms.
