The article affective excess within ‘assemblages of entangled embodiments’ features recent iii resident and Proximity Music: Visceral Acts artist Naomi Rincón Gallardo.

‘The practice of queer and of colour feminist artist Naomi Rincón Gallardo deals with interspecies existences that are “exposed to heteropatriarchal forces of dispossession and destruction”. Guided by pleasure and desire… the artist advocates joy, readiness to care and togetherness… as a way out of the stiffening necropolitics of the present day.’

“I describe my worldmaking as mythical/political fabulations that tell stories of entangled creatures (human and more than human) who resist, seek pleasure, re-exist and resurrect within a neocolonial necropolis… I build exuberant, crafty and low-cost elaborated paraphernalia and attires that embrace degraded aesthetics while involving no mastery but inventive capacities and affective manual labour. I can define my multi-disciplinary work as queer/feminist political handmade surrealism.”
