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.
