No Monsters, But an Uprising
"No Monsters, But an Uprising" is a visual and narrative exploration of the monstrous as an ethnographic construct, examining its entangled relationships with the dehumanization of indigenous subject(s) in science fiction, fantasy, and speculative media within Western storytelling. The project plays with a hybrid mix of techniques, including cut-up, collage, role-play, leprosic methods (things that grow on the skin of the medium), détournement, assemblage, and mise-en-scène, to deconstruct and reconfigure monstrous figures drawn from comics, films, paintings, and other visual media.
Through layered assemblages and re-staged scenes, the project aims to transform monstrosity into a site of plot twists and uprisings. By confronting and reimagining the usage of the dehumanized “other,” it invites viewers to reconsider how speculative genres encode or normalize power, storytelling, and systemic violence, while also proposing new ways of imagining futures untethered from colonial frameworks that celebrate indigenous resilience and multiplicity.
