Professor Rodrรญguez-Ulloa will be joined by special guests Simรณn Trujillo (NYU) and Cynthia Melรฉndez (NYU).

๐˜š๐˜ข๐˜ฅ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ค ๐˜Š๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ด examines music, visual arts, literature, and grassroots organizing by self-identified cholasโ€”in particular, Black women and trans and q***r feminists. Under colonial domination, cholas were destined for sexual coercion, labor extraction, and reproductive exploitation. While exhuming historical traces of chola resistance, Rodriguez-Ulloa shows how todayโ€™s artists experiment with an aesthetic of sadistic vengeance, configured as rightful self-defense. Yet, in spite of their violent imagery, activist cholas pursue nonviolent goals, promoting a commons of care incorporating people, animals, and the environment.

NYU students, faculty, and staff may enter using their NYU ID. All non-NYU attendees must register in advance.
