In Pornopirata I will share guerrilla tactics against cishetero-white capitalism, drawing a parallel between post-porn productions and popular demonstrations/revolts. Based on contemporary audiovisual and textual productions and those from Abya Yala, the artist brings references to works that break with the biologizing discourse of gender and social hygiene, interweaving historical data and artistic manifestations.

My artwork addresses the urgent need to challenge and deconstruct coloniality in our everyday lives, exploring issues of privilege and marginalization. I immerse myself in guerrilla tactics and information sharing as a means of confronting colonial cynicism, white innocence, and the tactics of whiteness that persist in our societies. Colonization has shaped and determined our lives, causing us to forget essential aspects of our collective memory. For this reason, I believe it is vital to work on decolonial memory and to preserve ancestral technologies that have been erased and made invisible, but which persist and resist. My work is committed to exposing how gender is also a colonial construction and how racialization is a strategy imposed by whiteness that seeks to perpetuate itself as the norm. These are two fundamental points in the perception of my art that drive me to question and confront. To give voice to these ideas, I draw from diverse artistic and philosophical sources such as anti-art, post-pornography/pornterrorism, queer art, biohacking/transhackfeminism, body ecology, anti-humanism, DIY punk, and the concrete/neo-concrete movement, among others. Through these influences, I seek to create a space where dominant narratives are challenged and make way for alternative and transformative perspectives. My goal is to dismantle the structures that perpetuate oppression and promote personal and collective liberation. I invite viewers to reflect on the social and cultural constructs that limit our experiences and to imagine a more inclusive and diverse future. My art is a tool of resistance and emancipation, embracing dissent and diversity as a source of strength and empowerment. With each work, I strive to sow seeds of change and contribute to the construction of a more egalitarian and colonial-free world.
