In this exhibition, I brought together a body of work, which included Unearth Me and See Me Wildly Dance, displayed on a TV throughout the exhibition and screened twice for Loop Barcelona, along with my poem, “Unheteroearth”, a textile piece with my poem, “mundxs no binarixs”, a painting, two felt masks, a web VR experience, and three videos: Microbial Land II, URTH 4050, and This Message is for You. This collection of work encapsulates a large majority of the digital and physical work that I made between 2018 and 2021 and highlights my interests in gender and sexuality, ecology, spirituality, futurity, as well as my multidisciplinary practice. For me, this show, focused around the notion of queer worlding, which further queers Donna Haraway’s definition of worlding as “storytelling and fact telling; it is the patterning of possible worlds and possible times, material-semiotic worlds, gone, here, and yet to come”. In this exhibition, queer worlding, became a tool, an approach, and a lens for both generating, telling, and listening to queer stories of fact and fiction; one that embraces nonbinary, fluid, and nonnormative modes of existence, connection, and futures. Using queer worlding tactics, these works intended to break down artificial binary classifications such as man/woman, nature/technology, and human/nonhuman to explore the continuum of possible futures and presents that re-imagine gender, sexuality, nature, society, and hierarchies on earth.
