Abstract

This short chapter recounts performance artist Awilda Rodríguez Lora’s intervention during the 2017 National Colloquium on Women at the University of Puerto Rico’s Mayagüez campus. In doing so, it offers a reflection on the possible meanings of and potential for “sustenance” in the colonial context.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Here, I’m referencing a verse from Mónica de la Torre’s The Happy End/All Welcome (2017). The verse reads “my English is no frequently.”
