Abstract This research investigates the contemporary dispute over national identity in Peru through the lens of Performance as Research (PaR), situated within a landscape of increasing state censorship and the persecution of dissident artists. My work identifies a clash between two opposing performative bodies: the "repertoire of resistance"—rooted in activist and feminist movements—and the emerging "repertoire of Peruvian fascism," characterized by reactionary, extremist strategies that weaponize hate speech to dismantle democratic memory. Employing a "variegated methodology" (metodología abigarrada), a framework derived from Zavaleta Mercado and Silvia Rivera Cusicanqui that understands the political landscape as a space of overlapping layers, entrained contradictions, and sediments of subjectivity, this research proposes two core strategies: a) Re-performance: Updating historical acts of resistance (such as Lava la Bandera) to engage with current authoritarianism.b) Deactivation: A process aimed at stripping power from fascist symbols through poetic and affective interventions. The poster will be presented as a "variegated installation," featuring visual sketches, conceptual drawings, and tactile documentation of prototypes. These include actions such as the symbolic deconstruction of extremist banners through affective gestures and the collective embroidery on "hate flags" to resignify mourning and justice. By sharing these materialities, I aim to demonstrate how PaR can materialize the precariousness of the artist in the Global South while reclaiming the efficacy of performance to defend the right to a dignified life and the preservation of memory against state-led erasure.
