dc.description.abstractThis chapter analyses the 2019 music video, ‘Sinca Misa’, by queer feminist hip-hop duo, Krudxs Cubensi, which provides an innovative example of both the dynamic activism that resists sexist abuse, and the resulting mediatic resources. Taking a decolonial approach, I apply theories such as erotic agency, compulsory heterosexuality, and disidentification to show that the violence implicit in gendered policing of bodies in public space reinforces the same system that apologizes for more extreme forms of violence. By considering the specificity of the Cuban context and Lxs Krudxs’ subjectivity as non-binary, I map the subversive potential of this cultural product by combining analyses of lyrics, movement, music, and visual production, asserting that an ethical conversation around gender-based violence must include trans narratives.en
