Abstract

In 2023, the Agroforestal Universitary Community Garden (Morelia-México), hosted three artistic residencies that focused on somatic practices and environments. These residencies were gestures, meaning modes of action that produce relationships-sensibilities-awareness. Through a review of these artistic residencies, the aim is to trace connections between gestures and queer theory. Gestures make queer dislocations of relationships, awareness and identities, producing unexpected ways of inhabiting the communal garden.
