Abstract
Through an auto-ethnographic approach, the artist presents decoloniality as an ongoing, transgenerational process, challenging the commercialization of decolonial efforts. This article explores the unique challenges encountered in academia by an artist who is Brown, Chicana, transfronteriza and Mexican American with Baja California Indigenous ancestry, emphasizing the rejection of code-switching and her stance against coloniality. By spotlighting institutional hostility and reprisals faced while advocating for decolonial initiatives, particularly in support of People of Colour faculty and students, the article addresses the repercussions on the health and wellbeing of activists. It underscores the determination to resist silencing, asserting that the transformative power of transfronteriza nepantlera life experiences propels decolonial artistic expression from a quantum computation-like mindset, showcasing how they push the limitations of new media art and how expanded animation serves as an ideal tool for such expression.
