Ortésia Cabrera Fuster (born 1989), known by the stage name ivaquexuta,[1][2] is a multidisciplinary artist and politician from Catalonia, who has worked as a writer and art curator.[3] She has also worked as a narrator,[4] playwright, musician and translator.[5]
Career
[edit]As an artist
[edit]She is part of the Assembly Platform of Artists of Catalonia.[6] Her artistic works focus on the youth situation in the Terres de l'Ebre, the job insecurity of Millennials or the situation of neurodivergent people in Catalonia.[7] She also works with postcolonialism, the third sector, contemporary art, and philosophy.[8]
In 2017, she directed the ExtincióFest event at the Lo Pati Art Center.[4] In 2018, she was selected in the Art Jove de Patrimonio call of the National Art Museum of Catalonia,[7] which the following year hosted her exhibition "Una gestió diferent del dolor" ("A different management of pain").[9] In 2021, she received a production grant from the Hangar center,[10] with which she made the podcast intimidad forzada ("forced intimacy") in collaboration with the Asperger Association of Catalonia.[11] She also won the Miquel Casablancas Prize Visual Arts Contest, organized by Sant Andreu Contemporani, in the mediation category.[12] In 2023, she participated in the performance "Los escribientes" ("The scribes"), organized by Utopia Ramblas in La Rambla, together with artists Cecilia Vieira, Enrique Baeza, Marla Jacarilla and Jordi Vizcaíno.[13] In addition, she has exhibited her work at the Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art, the Sala de Arte Joven, the Mèdol - Centre d’Arts Contemporànies de Tarragona[7] and the Pere Anguera Library.[14]
As a politician
[edit]In politics, she is in favor of Catalan independence, the LGBTQ+ rights movement and feminist struggle.[15] She opposes Neoliberalism, patriarchy,[16] the Spanish monarchy, the Spanish State, Racism, Sexism, Classism, marginalization and Colonialism.[1]
She has been a member of various spaces of the Catalan Independentist left, such as Maulets, [óvens de les Terres de l'Ebre and the Sindicat d'Estudiants dels Països Catalans, and has also worked in the media La Directa and L'Escuranda.[17][18] In addition, she is linked to the associative fabric of Amposta, has organized alternative festivals in the municipality and is locally involved in popular culture and the feminist movement.[3]
In 2024, having belonged to the Support Group of the CUP of the Terres de l'Ebre,[18] she ran in the elections to the Parliament of Catalonia as the third candidate of the party to the constituency of Tarragona, behind Sergi Saladié and Eloi Redon.[7] As a result, the CUP received a barrage of criticism, accused of not respecting gender equality on the list due to the inclusion of Cabrera,[17] despite the fact that she legally appeared in the Spanish Civil Registry as a woman.[2] Faced with the controversy, supporters of the formation labeled the criticisms as "machismo" and "transphobia".[19]
Personal life
[edit]Cabrera identifies as a trans woman[6] or trans non-binary.[7] She came out in 2022.[17] She also labels herself as rural, Catalan, from a working class background, neurodivergent and disabled.[6] She is a survivor of child sexual abuse.[6]
