Courtesy: Robbie Sweeny<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p6\">\u201cImmigrant women have historically had to endure deeply embedded traumas throughout their physical journey from their countries of origin to somewhere new, but they also suffer internal trauma upon arrival,\u201d said Valdiviezo. \u201cThe criminalization of immigrant families in the U.S. creates a mental and spiritual wound in these women, which is occurring more now than ever before. The purpose of this piece is to combine the practice of Indigenous dance and technology to help find a transition from their trials and tribulations to a place that can lead to healing in gender, community, and cultural contexts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">Valdiviezo\u2019s experimental approach, combining Indigenous healing practices with computer technology, produces an innovative opportunity for viewers to reflect on the trauma inflicted on immigrant women on a regular basis. Valdiviezo says this fusion of elements can also serve as a vehicle of healing for viewers depending on their interpretation. She describes a specific scene in her piece in detail, which utilizes thermography to illustrate moments of pain and fear without subjecting the audience to graphic images of violence.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">\u201cWe see a woman who serves as an archetype of all Latinx immigrant women, who crosses the desert and finds herself in a place of death both in body and spirit,\u201d said Valdiviezo. \u201cIn her spiritual death, she experiences an attack by an unknown force, possibly ICE officers, coyotes, the voices in her mind or hallucinations from lack of food and water. So we chose this type of technology to be mindful about how certain imagery can be used in this moment not to inflict more trauma but to be used in a way that can be symbolic.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_41255\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41255\" style=\"width: 1103px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-41255\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Metamorphasis-16_A7_03937-WEB.jpg?resize=1103%2C827&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1103\" height=\"827\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Metamorphasis-16_A7_03937-WEB.jpg?w=1103&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1103w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Metamorphasis-16_A7_03937-WEB.jpg?resize=600%2C450&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Metamorphasis-16_A7_03937-WEB.jpg?resize=333%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 333w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Metamorphasis-16_A7_03937-WEB.jpg?resize=768%2C576&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-41255\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mabel Valdiviezo and Juliana Mendonca perform \u201cMetamorphosis\u201d at CounterPulse in San Francisco, on Thursday, July 18, 2019. \u201cMetamorphosis\u201d combines dance performance, interactive visuals, and shamanic storytelling to explore the rising mental health crisis among Latinx immigrant women as a result of their undocumented status and forced family separation.

I make an effort to not feed into that kind of work because I see how a person\u2019s nervous system can be harmed in being exposed to this kind of imagery all over again,\u201d Valdiviezo said. \u201cThis is not a reflection of my values nor Travis\u2019. We consciously work in a way to avoid using technology in that way and only want to serve the purpose of honoring our stories and rehumanizing the story of immigrants, refugees, and women.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_41257\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41257\" style=\"width: 1125px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-41257\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Metamorphosis-13_A9_08904-WEB.jpg?resize=1125%2C677&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1125\" height=\"677\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Metamorphosis-13_A9_08904-WEB.jpg?w=1125&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 1125w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Metamorphosis-13_A9_08904-WEB.jpg?resize=600%2C361&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Metamorphosis-13_A9_08904-WEB.jpg?resize=360%2C217&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 360w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Metamorphosis-13_A9_08904-WEB.jpg?resize=768%2C462&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-41257\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mabel Valdiviezo, left, and Juliana Mendonca, right, perform \u201cMetamorphosis\u201d at CounterPulse in San Francisco, on July 18, 2019. Courtesy: Robbie Sweeny<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p6\">Valdiviezo draws from her own personal experience as a Peruvian immigrant fleeing oppression, persecution and a crumbling economy in 1993. After witnessing close friends and comrades within the Peruvian punk movement fall into trouble with the government, Valdiviezo realized she could no longer live in a country that would restrict her freedom of expression.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">\u201cMuch like today, young people were very rebellious and politically active,\u201d Valdiviezo said. \u201cOnce I began seeing my friends apprehended and thrown in jail, I knew I had to get out. I knew I couldn\u2019t find a way to live freely as a young woman, there was no way for me to develop myself there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p6\">Valdiviezo sought out creative outlets that would promote healing of the trauma she carried with her upon her arrival to the United States. Various forms of art served her well as she moved from storytelling and filmmaking to dance. Valdiviezo continues to research the healing properties of Indigenous ceremonial dance, feeling the call to make these resources accessible to communities who suffer from similar traumas. It was from her personal journey of healing that this community-oriented performance piece was born.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_41256\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41256\" style=\"width: 826px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-41256\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Metamorphosis-11_A7_03915-WEB.jpg?resize=826%2C1239&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"826\" height=\"1239\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Metamorphosis-11_A7_03915-WEB.jpg?w=826&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 826w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Metamorphosis-11_A7_03915-WEB.jpg?resize=600%2C900&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Metamorphosis-11_A7_03915-WEB.jpg?resize=167%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 167w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Metamorphosis-11_A7_03915-WEB.jpg?resize=768%2C1152&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/Metamorphosis-11_A7_03915-WEB.jpg?resize=320%2C480&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 826px) 100vw, 826px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-41256\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Juliana Mendonca performs \u201cMetamorphosis\u201d at CounterPulse in San Francisco, on July 18, 2019.
