Muffie Delgado Connelly
Movement Artist, Activist, Somatic Practitioner
My work functions as a curative strategy for fostering resilience and infinite growth.
My work employs raw exuberance and antidotal desire tactics in support of the whole person and its infinite possibilities.
My work understands the body as the frontline of resistance and grapples with the complexities of being born a bi-racial indigenous descendant of Turtle Island.
My work defies isolationist strictures and demands acknowledgment of intersectional realities as a practice of credentialing the disqualified, erased, silenced, and disappeared.
My work is a transmission and seeks to expand through networks of underground, invisible and sensorial pathways--assuming forms of shared experiential knowledge and lineage passed through the cells of every person and the mother body.
