Migrant Nahua Futurisms is multimedia production that proposes to highlight U.S migratory experiences and traumas of indigenous communities from Cholula, Puebla. Through an ongoing series of short experimental films, multimedia installations, and regalia fabrication & alterations, this project is invested in transborder decolonization and building historical transparencies. This project engages a Nahua diasporic carnival as a reference to the much fragmented and dismembered history stemming from Cholula, Mexico and as a consequence of colonization. This project develops new visions for futurities directly informed from Nahua multidimensionality concepts of time traveling and re-envisioning futuristic indigenous migrant resiliency.
