Decolonising Pedro Lemebel, The Man that Everybody Feared

This week we pay hommage to Pedro Lemebel, a performer and writer that changed my life and that of many queers who thought in the Pride Revolution that came after the StoneWall riots, the hope of integration with 'normal' society through gay marriage and conspicuous consumption. But with normalisation came AIDS that equated an actualisation of the colonial bonds between the Global North and the Global South through bio politics and Pharma. I decided to do this in two parts. One is for the Spanish speaking world, in particular, for a Chilean and Argentine audience already acquainted with his work. This is in my YouTube Chanel. I wanted however, to evangelise people from the Global North on what Pedro Lemebel's performative turn even though is not his invention, it pushes forward a type of art tightly linked to activism that has become currency these days. His constant deconstruction of hegemonic discourse was by definition decolonial.
