Fernanda Andia

They, He, She - Elle, El, Ella | Detroit, MI | Facilitator

Fernanda is a queer Andean organizer, artist, astrologer and builder. Fernanda was born in La Paz, Bolivia and grew up both in La Paz and on Turtle Island. As a mixed-race queer, indigenous human, she is always thinking, writing and feeling through questions of identity, belonging, and the radical possibilities of interstitial existence; the pain and pleasure of being in this world but not of it.

Fernanda's praxis is grounded in sensuality, wholeness, process, and collective potentiality. They have worked on worker cooperatives, labor rights, housing justice, and internet justice. He believes in bringing vulnerability, compassion, and rigor to all he does.
