Círculo Violeta

Circulo Violeta emerges from the need to connect with other intersex, trans and non-binary artists.

Circulo Violeta emerges from the need to connect with other intersex, trans and non-binary artists. Recognizing that in Puerto Rico the trans, non-binary and intersex communities are invisibilized, marginalized and that they do not have effective andsafe spaces to connect and create exchanges about their experiences and needs as artists from a variety of disciplines. Circulo Violeta intends to be this space for gathering, initially virtually, creating thus an archive and living catalogue with the information of each artist and their practice. Aspiring then to have in-person gatherings that can help them build trans and intersex narratives from and in Puerto Rico. it is a collective of two trans and intersex artists whose mission is to create a network of intersex, trans and non-binary artists from Puerto Rico and its diasporas

Las Nietas de Nonó

Siblings Mulowayi Iyaye Nonó and Mapenzi Chibale Nonó are the creators of “Las Nietas de Nonó”, who will continue to develop the theater play titled “Ilustraciones de la Mecánica” in which they reflect on the history shared by poor black women subjected to forced mass sterilization, caesarean sections and other interventions that respond to the economic interests of the industrial medical complex in Puerto Rico.

Siblings Mulowayi Iyaye Nonó and Mapenzi Chibale Nonó are the creators of “Las Nietas de Nonó.” They reside in the San Antón de Carolina neighborhood in Puerto Rico. From their own backyard, which houses the community space “Patio Taller,” they have been collaborating creatively and artistically. Their first theatre production was in 2011 and they have been creating ever since.
