Wearing your Stabs (2019)
Performance
Beaux-Arts. Paris, France

This performance confronts prejudices surrounding queer identities and the moral condemnation of sexuality and nonconforming practices shaped by dominant religious legacies. Inspired by ancestral rituals from my Indigenous origins, it transforms the body—under the burning sun—into a vessel of energy where movement, blood, and sweat converge as emblems of life and magic, culminating in a cathartic release. Cold water concludes the piece, offering purification and an opening toward a new cycle that articulates memory, materiality, and transcendent force.
