Negotiating Intersections

 I did this artwork to visually explore the points where queer theory intersects with other frameworks, such as gender studies, post-colonial theory, indigenous studies, and disability studies. In this painting, each color merges and mingles with the next. The blending of these colors represents the intricate process of negotiation, where diverse theoretical perspectives harmonize, clash, and coexist. This dynamic interplay mirrors the intersections of individuals and their multifaceted identities, revealing the richness of human experience. By blending and merging, these colors remind me of the strength found at the crossroads of diverse identities and perspectives. - Dahara de SIlva-
