Luara Raio

Luara’s practice is rooted in a lesbian, racialised and anticolonial perspective of the body, and aims to activate threats and fractures within hegemonic representations. As a performer, dancer, funk singer (Sapatão) and choreographer trained in the live arts across Brazil, Portugal and France, Luara’s work unfolds a hybrid cartography of crossroad spaces. There, not only do spirituality and fiction blur their boundaries, but become political, performative and bio-mythographic mediums of revolution and celebration.
