Arts: Camila Font (Anthropology)

Camila’s research looks at theintricacies of how neoliberal colonial power is reproduced and contested in contexts of live-in domestic work. They engaged in fieldwork in Costa Rica with kin networks that practice employment of domestic workers. Camila hopes to help people realize how their person's power influences interdependent systems, and wants to inspire people to consider possibilities for collective liberation in queering notions of community.
