About Dislocated/Dislocada:
A curatorial project founded in 2019, Muestra Dislocada/Dislocated Showcase is comprised of several artist collectives: Encuentro de Acción en Vivo y Diferido -AVD- (Bogotá, Colombia), BrobDinGnag -BDG- (Wilmington, NC, USA), Cuerpos Disidentes – Dissident Bodies (San Juan, Puerto Rico & Philadelphia, USA), Casa de Duende (Philadelphia, USA), No Nation (Chicago, USA), La Sonora Performancera (Oaxaca, MX) and LiveHive (India). Together, they have created an international platform for curating video performance art. Initially convened in 2019 by Dissident Bodies, these collectives have collaborated on a transnational curatorial project, issuing open calls for video performances that explore a broad range of sociocultural, political, environmental, and gender-based themes. With its global composition, Dislocada/Dislocated aims to question cultural conditioning, heteronormativity, and environmental struggles— viewing these as constructs that must be critically examined and dismantled. By questioning these norms, the collective seeks to create spaces that foster greater tolerance of diverse and more accepting perspectives.
