Queer evangelism

This project arises from trying to understand a relationship with the divine from the experience of a diverse body, through the construction of a character that appropriates the figure of the holy catholic nuns.
The nun manifests herself through a series of virtual sermons that can be viewed by scanning the QR code and appropriating the religious discourse, placing herself in the place of the priests as a preacher of the word while inviting reflection on different passages of the bible from a diverse approach.

Director Biography - Camila Alvarado

1996 Camila Alvarado, lives and works in Bogota, Colombia.
She is interested in the use of different media such as video,
drawing, painting, editorial projects, and digital technologies in
regard to photography.
For Camila, photography is an infi nite fi eld of exploration, which in conjunction with other disciplines becomes an excuse to talk about issues related to power and hegemony as mechanisms of control over bodies, through different institutions such as religion, family,
politics, economics, and technology.
Her work is influenced by her life experience as a queer person
in Colombia and her orthodox religious environment, hence her
obsession with mysticism and her constant defiance of religious
institutions.
Through her work, she seeks a reaffirmation of identity and proposes different types of dialogues between the mechanisms of control and those bodies considered as otherness: oppressed, abject, sexed, and automated.
