A carnivalesque walk and transgressive vigil, the result of all the experiences that mark us and separate us in the course of our lives, creating emotional, spiritual, physical, and existential cracks. An intense search for an honest identity from the androgynous ambiguity that inhabits us. A performative procession from the University of Puerto Rico, Mayagüez, Museum of Art to the Ramón Figueroa Chapel Amphitheatre, transmitted live as part of the Coloquio Del Otro Lao: Perspectivas y Debates sobre lo Cuir (Perspectives and Debates on Queerness), followed by video projections and conversation in English and Spanish related to the FRACTURA exhibit at the Casa de los Contrafuertes in Old San Juan. Event curated and moderated by Lawrence La Fountain-Stokes.

ARTIST BIO:
Freddie Mercado Velázquez is a Puerto Rican visual and performance artist who focuses on the crossings between painting, sculpture, installation, and performance art. A graduate of the Escuela de Artes Plásticas y Diseño de Puerto Rico, he has been exploring drag and androgyny for over thirty years, creating fantastic characters, disconcerting dolls, and monstrous figures that expand our notions of trans-Caribbean identities. His exhibit FRACTURA was recently reviewed in ARTFORUM.
