Emerging from the Vocal Void: A journey towards Afro-Indigenous Femme Subjectivity in Phenomenology

June 25, 2022 @ 2:15 pm - 3:30 pm EDT

[ A+ ] /[ A- ]

Presenter: Artist Marcia X (Universitat Autónoma de Barcelona and EINA)

This presentation showcases the journey the artist undertakes through phenomenology in order to find a space to discuss Afro-Indigenous femme subjectivity. In referencing Latina Feminist and Afro-Caribbean phenomenologies, concepts such as existential-cultural crisis, the Vocal Void and Sycoraxic Subjectivity emerge. Through these concepts, the artist is able to not only write about their orientation in the multiple worlds in which they exist, but also cultivate artistic production that references this journey. Beginning with the Latina orientated in a colonial city and ending with the drafting for new works that encompass the journey, art and theory are created and discussed together.
