This critical discussion will explore ch’ixi, an Aymara word that describes a liminal being, proposed by Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui as a vehicle to decolonize race theory. This notion challenges the binaries inherent in the Latin American identity of mestizo. The disruption of binaries is reflected in the work of many Latin artists. To further expand our understanding and make deeper connections, the session will also look at works from the Syncretic Series by Rodrigo D’Alcântara.
