Stories, tools, traumas and survival strategies flow between family members.
In this performative landscape, and the entire "ancestry" series, Guadalupe works with the fluidity of our human existence by following our connecting lines from portal to portal through my body.
Based on somatic memory research, she dives into her ancestral knowledge, from her animalistic survival instincts to the pre and post colonial knowledge that sustains but also sometimes restrains us.
The fluidity reflects on Guadalupe's ancestral family but also ongoing history.
The fluidity reflects on her own existence.
