Her art revolves around gender, identity, ancestrality, and race in the face of white, heterocispatriarchal systems of oppression. Created from the center of what she calls the crossroads of sound, imagery, word, and body, her experimentation aims to reject the victimhood imposed upon Black, trans, queer, and gender non-conforming corporalities.

I understand that existing as a trans, queer, Black, or person of color in Brazil (the deadliest country for trans people in the world) is a political act in itself. To be who I am today is only possible because of these communities, who gave me resources to build myself up and showed me that our lives aren&rsquo;t less important than any others. So it&rsquo;s not that my practice amplifies their voices-it&rsquo;s more that we raise our voices together. My art is one of many tools that we use to resist in this white heterocispatriarchal and binary society. Actively fighting for change is the only way for us to exist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What do you hope to achieve through this award?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As artists, we have a responsibility for making change and showing people new points of view. But we cannot do that if our basic material needs aren&rsquo;t met, or if we&rsquo;re not fed, safe, and healthy. Awards like that are very important to provide material security and also a safe space for us to express ourselves and cherish our accomplishments. Although I really hope my work outlives me, first I need to be alive to manifest it.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jonolena.medium.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" itemprop=\"url\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalfundforwomen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/Jono_Lena_Desire-fits-where-body-is-But-where-does-body-fit-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"A triptych of 3 grainy black and white photos of a figure holding a picture frame and arranging her body around it.
