ABSTRACT

As a ‘Post-Mexican’ performance artist operating out of the U.S. for over twenty years, one of my conceptual obsessions has been to constantly reposition myself within the hegemonic maps. Whether this map is the Americas, the larger cartography of art or my personal biography, one of my jobs has been to move around, cross dangerous borders, disappear and reappear somewhere else and in the process create ‘imaginary cartographies’ capable of containing the complexities of my multiple and ever-changing identities, voices, communities and performative bodies.
