Migración Como Territorio | 2023

To be Chicanx, to be Mestizx is to exist in the margins, to not be from here nor there, to be from a non-place. A definition only realized in the in-between, a space materialized through friction, a monstrous outcome born of interdependence. One can only reclaim place through process.

By transmitting archival soundscape files all on the same frequency this performance embodies this fraught marginal space. Manipulating the distance of the transmitters to accompanying radios displaces the sound from one radio to another. Each movement and small gesture affects the broadcast revealing the awareness to the in-between, the radio acting as a vector for entangling transmissions.
