I am Sandra Sotelo Reyes, a researcher, activist, and dancer, and I understand transdisciplinarity almost as a responsibility. Nevertheless, I have also studied music, dance, economics, humanitarian action, and feminisms in a system that fragments knowledge, and I have just started a PhD in feminist political ecology and performing arts, somewhat as a way to take revenge on it. For twenty years, I have worked in different countries in East and Central Africa affected by violence and abuses that are a direct consequence of colonialism and extractivism. I learned from other ecologies and worldviews while navigating all the contradictions. Recently, ecofeminist narratives and degrowth have shaped my vision and research, as well as my movement practice. They have been central, for example, in the Courageous Conversations on Climate Change, a project I directed, from which impressive works of artistic reporting emerged. My work currently orbits around these vertices and companies.
