For the second consecutive year, we joined Catinga editions to bring to the MÁS community the workshop “metresas, and imaginary dissidents to colonialityLed by Johan Mijail, a group of twenty-one participants from different places of abya yala: writers, activists, artists, LGBTQ+ people, racialized people, and allies will reflect and create autobiographical texts proposing the “I” as a habitable place, from trans poetics.

The workshop consists of 5 virtual meetings in which they will review Afro-descendant and Caribbean worldviews, transvestism, “urban music”, performance and anal poetics from a contrasexual perspective. As in 2023, the workshop will result in a corpus of writings that, like last year, will be compiled into a Fanzine that will be presented in a public – virtual reading in April.

We invite you to enjoy the launch meeting of the Fanzine that compiled the literary production of the 2023 workshop, and to obtain the Fanzine in physical and digital form available in English or Spanish
