It’s alive, and yet it looks so dead…it’s alive and waiting out there for you, ready to kill you if you go too far…the sun will get you, or the cold at night, or the insects, or… there’s a thousand ways the desert can kill! — from the film It Came from Outer Space (1953).

Curated by TT advisor Nicolás Dumit Estévez Raful Espejo Ovales, INDECENCIA brings together a cohort of queer/rare* artists from Latin America and/or of Latin American descent and living in the United States, Europe, and the Caribbean or in-between spaces/identities, whose praxes center on performance art and ephemeral actions. From the perspective of several generations, countries, and sociopolitical contexts, these artists invite us to consider Latinidad/Latinxidad and its relationship to religion, enfleshment, and sexuality. Their inquiries extend—through videos, props, scripts, costumes, and other channels—to the disjointed corpus of an entire hemisphere where, for many, the colonized and the colonizer can easily wrestle within a single body.
