Rekeying Latinx Performance: Gesture, Ancestors, and Community

This keyword article is about how hemispheric, Latinx, Afro-Latinx, transnational feminist, and queer "performance" is rooted in an understanding of the importance of rematerialization as a vitalizing, regenerative force. This means that performances take on multiple forms of presence that refer to everyday acts of creative expression as resilience. Further, performance practices in these contexts are tied to ritual acts that serve to ignite moments of recognition, inspiration, and action for communities.
