MI CUERPO MI TERRITORIO. A DIALOGUE ON A WOMEN’S BODY AND TERRITORIAL NARRATIVES

My experience living in Europe the last year has taken me to re-think my own narratives and connections between body and territory as a mestiza (Mestiza is a person who has both indigenous and western heritage) woman. I experience in my body confl icts and contradictions that are consequences of the way that the colonial patriarchal system operates in the territories of Abya Yala and the world. I invite women who, like me, come from a colonial context to engage with me in a dialogue on our body and territorial experiences. From the sensorial exploration of elements in natural public spaces, memories and narratives related to body-territorial experiences emerge. We, women, talk and, even though sometimes we don’t do it in our fi rst language, we manage to share the feelings of our experiences very clearly. Performance art is an excuse to creating diverse and horizontal human encounters in which the elements of the natural public space become our common words.
