Description

This event is a part of Dr. María Célleri's GWST 341 course: Indigenous and Decolonial Feminisms

Tsaitami, aka Thunderboi Tsai, is an nonbinary, neurodivergent, Afro-Indigenous, Latine multidisciplinary artist and spiritual facilitator. A steward of pan-Indigenous cultural heritage, Tsaitami consistently seeks ways to infuse their heritage and activism in their digital, theatrical and drag artistry in the local DMV area. Tsaitami will be performing in drag and sharing more on the concept of re-indigenization for systemic liberation.

Masks highly recommended and will be provided.

Tsaitami Duchicela (they/them, él o elle) is a Neurodivergent, Nonbinary, Transgender, Two-Spirit descendant of the Inka-Puruhá people of Ecuador and Afro-Indigenous Panamanian heritage. A migrant to the so-called U.S. from Ecuador since age 18, Tsaitami has over 25 years of experience in the multidisciplinary arts and local theater. Adjacent to their artistry, they are a spiritual health facilitator, primarily centering Queer, Trans, Black, Indigenous, & marginalized folks based on pan-Indigenous medicine and wisdom. Tsaitami is also an educator on equitable, diverse, inclusive representation and resource accessibility, and a steward of pan-Indigenous cultural heritage. Tsaitami currently focuses on being an independent drag, performance and multimedia artist, and overall creating artwork that facilitates re-indigenization and systemic liberation.
