Juan Manuel Aldape Muñoz
JUAN MANUEL ALDAPE MUÑOZ is an interdisciplinary scholar with a research and teaching focus on (Afro)Latinx/Latin American undocumented cultural production. He’s an assistant professor in the Department of Performing and Media Arts at Cornell University. His book project The Alien Commons: Choreography and Performance Beyond Citizenship focuses on undocumented, queer, indigenous adoptee, and Afro-Indigenous artistic projects from San Francisco, California to the grape fields of the Niagara Region in Canada. He examines the increased securitization and enforcement of daily life for alien and citizen alike, and how artists respond to the monopoly of movement across multiple stages through creative motion and the creation of communities of another kind. He’s the former managing director of San Francisco’s Festival of Latin American Contemporary Choreographers. He is a choreographer and professional dancer whose work has been presented internationally.
