Black, Afro-descendant, indigenous, migrant, impoverished, and sexual and gender dissident bodies face daily symbolic and material barriers that deny them the full right to the city
From the militarization of working-class neighborhoods and urban policies of social cleansing and gentrification to institutional and cultural violence that make non-normative identities invisible, the urban order reproduces a hierarchy based on white supremacy, gender binarism, and compulsory heterosexuality.
This discussion/workshop offers an intersectional and territorial reading of these systems of oppression, grounded in the experiences of those who live and resist from the margins. Opening these spaces is essential to dismantling the illusion of an "inclusive" city built from the center and imagining alternatives that emerge from the edges: from the neighborhoods, community houses, dissident bodies, and insurgent memories.
Thus, the conversation is an effort to question the city as a device of exclusion and highlight the creative and radical forms of reexistence that bloom amid these acts of violence. Naming the city as racist and heteronormative is a political act of denunciation but also a collective gesture toward building more just, caring, and livable territories for all.
