that offer a somatic decolonial respite for the misfits, the displaced and
future generations of Brown and Indigenous radical artists of the diaspora.

borders, erased ancestry and radical trans, queer & Native futures through
music, theater, ritual performance and video. Their experimental ritual
performance film, Born With An Extra Rib won was the Queer|Art Prize for
Recent Work (2022) and Jury Award for Best TransGenre Short/Mid Length,
TRANSlations Seattle Film Festival (2023).
