His Work Can Only Be Understood Through Motta’s Commitment to Social and Political Movements, Specifice To The Politics of Gender Identity and Sexualityand above all to a determinion to give a voice to dissident discourses that challenge the dominant standard waves. This Point Runs Through All His Work, Which Revolves Around Two Central Themes That Discuss and Multiply The Invications of the Dissent Being: Interspectationality and the Queer Factor.
Motta’s Work Attacks The Imposition of Eurocentric Epistemologies, from the Conquest and the Colonial Journal in the American Propagation Today, Taking into Account the Legacy of Religion as Both a Perpetrator and a Disruptor in Colonialism.
The exhibition Pays Special Attention to the Artist’s Commitment to Political Stories, Social Justice Movements-In Which The So-Called HIV or Aids Crisis Plays a Special Part-and Contemporary Declinations Revolving around the fragility of bodies, in Terms of Both Individual and Collective Representation.
