This article is an analysis, tribute and dialogue with the performance Paso doble by Mirella Carbone. Carbone starts from the autobiography to create presences—becomings—of itself, with which criticizes identity impositions that the classist, colonial, macho, racist, and homophobic Lima demands. A «little man» in white suit and a doll drawn with a chalk by the artist activate the memory, open personal archives and bring important issues to the present. From the non-hegemonic figures that the artist presents, as well as silence and repression, I propose Paso doble as a place of the visible and possible. From the perspective of feminist and decolonial theories, latent issues in Paso doble are approached in order to understand the effects of coloniality—of power, knowledge and being—in the body, subjectivity and steps from the artist.

The article presents the experience of the Performing Arts Workshop in Ancón II Model Penitentiary, from the point of view of the artists who facilitate the experience. What senses unfold? What are the creative routes and processes? The artistic experience is embodied as a process that transcends the scene, proposing the production and circulation of discourses and performances from the voice of its protagonists: the young men and women inmates at the prison. The body constitutes the central axis of subjective, discursive and performative production. The authors reflect on the performing arts as the production of experiences and relationships in the context of deprivation of liberty, understanding the processes as explorations and bonds in constant construction, as well as a research space that questions them regarding the meaning of their work and their role as artists.

(A) Being in the City: Performing Arts Walk is a practice-based research project of artistic, performing and interdisciplinary intervention in the streets of Downtown Historic Lima staged in 2018 and 2019. This article shares its conceptual and methodological starting points, centered in the academic discussion about the configuration of the cities and the urban space, in which we take side in the everyday practices and the interactions that they hold, as the axes that configure the city, as well as the performative turn, which values subjectivity in research processes. It also presents this project’s reflexive origin about the being as entity and action, and its research axes that explore dimensions linked to the artistic, performative and knowledge of the city aspects. Finally, it shares the artistic decisions and the creative results to which we arrived.

The events in Argentina during the winter of 2018 (massive feminist groups marched to demand the approval of the Voluntary Termination of Pregnancy bill) invited us, from our places as artists, to emerge from our workspaces. The stage was set in the streets and the concept of art-life was about to manifest itself. Motivated to generate a device that expresses the politics of those who had abandoned their place of contemplation, questioned as individuals and mobilized as a collective, we decided to do an intervention with a performative aesthetic. This essay presents that feedback process between social and artistic performance, a reflection of the expressive and ungovernable limits of the green wave, and answers the call for a deep need to meet each other, taking over the public space, in a symbolic ex-pression of those of us who became protagonists in the construction of our rights. Every woman, all of us.
