Posibilidades para unas cuantas “Escenas de(s)coloniales callejeras”.

Abstract

The following article presents the first explorations of the research/creation project “Street decolonial scenes: Performativities of gender and urban” carried out with students and teachers of the Arts of the Scene program of the Politecnico Grancolombiano, in Bogotá, between October and December 2020. These explorations have taken place in two public spaces in the city and have been developed to create performative actions that denounce colonial violence. Indeed, the street has been approached as a place for scenic training, a creative source, a place to show relations between humanity and architec-ture, and the scene of the most diverse and profound patriarchal, racist, xenophobic, sexist, homophobic, etc. oppressions. Besides going to public spaces to intervene and letting them intervene in the bodies of the participating group, theories, prac-tices, and experiences of the literature of de(s)colonial and different feminisms, such as community and decolonial, have been incorporated, to cross the scenic knowledge with public spaces and de(s)coloniality. For those sentipensante journeys, authors such as Fabiana Dultra, Paola Berenstein, Ochy Curiel, Lorena Cabnal, Catherine Walsh, Tania Alice, Antonio Araujo, among others, have been studied.
