With the symbolic gesture of revealing her breast to prove her sex, at one of the first women´s rights congresses in the mid-nineteenth century, Sejouner Truth will proclaim: Ain´t I a woman? -and thus claim white feminists for the omission of black women´s struggles. With the concept of "emodied intersectionalities" I will refer to this performance, which will mark the trajectory of a concept that comes from the deep pain of the colonial wound. From this approach, the language of performance is a vehicle of exploration, of counterhegemonic reexistences and is conceived as an “erotic poetics of relationship” (Bidaseca, 2020), inspired by Audre Lorde´s classic text.
