Endangered Human Movements is a multi-disciplinary project including visual arts, performance and a series of publications. The volume Danza y Frontera is an artistic research project rooted in ancient pre-Hispanic dance forms that survived the historical meeting with dances used by the Spanish Crown, (Casa Austria / Habsburg) to develop the conquest of Mexico during the 16th century. As Danzas de Conquista, (Conquest Dances), featuring reenactments of the battles in Europe between Moors and Christians, these dances were used to expand imperial difference already existing in Europe, toward the creation of colonial difference as it developed in the American continent under settler colonialism.
