In A Freedom Struggle: Looking for Lucrecia Pérez, artist and filmmaker Génesis Valenzuela proposes the challenge of investigating the colonial wound and its echoes in the present through the human body. As part of the process of developing a feature-length documentary based on the case of the murder of Lucrecia Pérez, she expands her exploration into the performative gesture, choosing the market space—through pictorial representations from the colonial era and images and sounds of the present—as a crucible from which to reflect on identity, race, and representation in the Antilles.
