Vida Zamora

MX/BR/(MD/DC/NY)

Documentarist and Writer exploring intersectionality through dialect and culture production. 

The ethos in Vida's work is materialistic. It vocalizes through complicating the discourses that dominate race, gender, and the natural realms in the Americas through action that challenges the roles, doctrines, and ideas that derive from them. 

Vida advocates for "Kuxlejal" life-affirming politics through Mutual Aid as a world-making practice and vocalizes via an intersectional disciplinary width span that aims to contest colonial discourses.
