Presentation description

I use the autoethnography method, to contextualize my experiences as a Queer Chicane seeking safe spaces within (living) colonial institutions through friendship and memory. The intersectionality of being Queer Chicana within living colonial institutions violently limits the ability of my community to engage in the creation and maintenance of safe spaces. Therefore, the focus is on safe spaces, emotionally and symbolically, as an ongoing process within the community centering resistance.
