In today’s episode of the Grad School Femtoring Podcast, I welcome my guest and dear friend, Doris Difarnecio, a feminist, interdisciplinary artist, theater director, and performance activist, to share her remarkable journey through performance as activism. Doris talks about her roots, growing up between Colombia and the United States, her academic trajectory, and her impactful theater work. Together, we explore themes of identity, race, gender, and sexuality, and how these intersect with her artistic and activist efforts. Additionally, Doris introduces us to Arte Acción, her interdisciplinary platform for performance and politics. This heartfelt conversation sheds light on how personal experiences fuel activism and the transformative power of performance in addressing social issues.
