On Ancestrality and Regeneration: Performing Decolonial Journeys

Iury Salustiano Trojaborg is a queer diasporic artist-researcher and currently a doctoral candidate at the Malmö Theatre Academy and at the Agenda 2030 Graduate School at Lund University, Sweden. Her artistic research project On Ancestrality and Regeneration: Performing Decolonial Journeys aims to investigate ways of using performance art as a regenerative and socio-political tool to provoke change in the understanding of the lives of immigrants who, like she, willingly travelled the old colonial routes back to the European countries that colonised hers. It explores the process of construction of cultural identities in a postcolonial performative setting according to the intersection of gender, class, race, and ableism, promoting in this way an active dialogue with the geographies where this research is taking place: Malmö, Sweden; Rio de Janeiro, Belém and Manaus, Brazil; and Copenhagen, Denmark.
