ARTIST
STATEMENT
I
combine movement, text, video and percussion in performances
that create possibilities for transformation in understanding
the fluid, ethereal and sex-positive manifestations of subversive
hybridity. My concept of (a)eromestizaje challenges stereotypical
representations of identity, community and sexuality that
I explore through the aerodynamic filter of a new "mestizaje"
(the term that describes the Spanish/indigenous race mixture
of Latin America and the Philippines) in which there is a
constant, yet shifting interplay between racial and sexual
identities.
