Title:
Performing Queer Indigeneity in the Andean Patron-Saint Fiesta



Abstract:

This talk traces the ways queer men and trans women have redefined ritual cross-dressing in danzas (dance-dramas) showcased in folkloric patron-saint festivals in Peru and Bolivia. Centering on masking and costuming, aspects central to danzas and sustained by Indigenous traditions and epistemologies in the Andes, underscores how queer and trans individuals perform queer indigeneity as they enact change to tradition alongside cisgender females who perform with them.
