Lukas Avendaño

November 19, 2025

Avendaño’s career has been described in many ways: artivism, militant disobedience, sexual dissidence, rurality, Indianness, ugliness, illiteracy, street theater, happening, sketch, monologue, lectern theater, witticisms, improvisations, obscenities, vulgarities, lewdness, bad taste, pornography, Art Nako, and/or forced disappearance. For him, these ways of being labeled only reveal a hegemonic narrative: patriarchal, heterosexual, Christian, which is constructed from what Avendaño calls “the thesis with a flaw of origin,” hence he inhabits his very existence as a story of the collateral damage of this “flaw of origin.”
