This essay listens to aurality in conjunction with the visual classification of racialized bodies in neoliberal citizenship through what I term “sonic cultural citizenship.” Through a close listening to the 2010 production of Josefina López’s Detained in the Desert at CASA 0101, the essay amplifies racism as operating through affective performative dimensions, where citizenship is renegotiated and resisted through sonic performance. Detained centers the necessity of unhinging visual and sonic markers of citizenship for Latinx communities. It also evokes how sonic performance needs not only to decenter racial visibility in the Américas, but also to offer non-heteronormative frameworks of belonging
