Two-Spirit, Queer and Trans People of Colour (2-QTPOC) media offer paradigms for visions and practices of collective liberation and decolonization. Because 2-QTPOC media can reveal the metaphysical and affective among political imaginings and realities, this work attempts to track the haunting attachments, the emergent political, and the queerness inherent to the worlding that media making enacts, as a form of movement building and transformative healing. This work highlights the cultural work of Mangos with Chili, a two-spirit, queer and trans people of colour (2-QTPOC) multi-genre media performance collective, currently based in the San Francisco Bay Area, to explore the complexities among materiality, representation and embodiment by asking: How can attending to 2-QTPOC media reveal potentialities of the political? What shimmers at the boundaries of intelligibility and memory?
