Abstract
This essay is a reflection and assessment of the ConFem and faculty collective’s queer Chicanx/Latinx intergenerational solidarity activism. In conversation with abolition feminisms, transformative justice practices, and queer performance studies, we illustrate the shifts the collective effected toward queerer Chicanx/Latinx feminist futurities. Our collective solidarity praxis was an intervention that actively undermined the anti-solidarity machinations of the state’s social hierarchical ordering at the site of the university. This essay addresses the collective’s strategic move to shift away from supplicating or engaging with the state for appeasement or resolution of violence, and instead to turn to harnessing the power of queer Chicanx/Latinx visionary artists to unleash queer feminist Chicanx/Latinx counterpublics and imagination.
