Sacred Tears. Colonial Wounds.
Sites of (Re)membering.
Lloronequis names sacred tears.
Not metaphorical tears.
Not privatized grief.
But ancestral, communal, ungendered tears that emerge where harm has occurred.
WHY TEARS?
Coloniality required emotional silence to function.
Crying was policed.
Grief was gendered.
Pain was individualized to prevent collective reckoning.
Tears disrupt colonial order.
They gather bodies.
They expose violence.
They refuse forgetting.
Where there are tears, there is truth.
INVITATION: If you are here, your tears already know the way.
WHERE COLONIAL HARM BEGAN
This site names places where coloniality fractured life—
not abstractly, but materially.
Land seized.
Borders imposed.
Bodies disciplined.
Kinship severed.
Languages silenced.
Grief outlawed.
These are not past events.
They are ongoing conditions.
Lloronequis marks these sites not to re-open wounds,
but to refuse erasure.
Colonial Trauma Trails
WHAT IS LLORONEQUIS
Lloronequis names sacred tears.
Not metaphorical tears.
Not privatized grief.
But ancestral, communal, ungendered tears that emerge where harm has occurred.
Lloronequis is an emotional cosmology.
A way of understanding tears as knowledge.
As memory.
As ethical response.
Tears are not weakness.
They are evidence.
AN ETHICS OF TEARS
To cry is to refuse unbelonging.
To cry is to insist on relation—
to land,
to body,
to history,
to each other.
Lloronequis asks:
Who do our tears belong to?
Who was taught not to cry?
What worlds become possible when grief is held collectively?
Press Blurb
Lloronequis names sacred tears as communal and ungendered acts of remembrance that interrupt colonial systems which disciplined grief through shame, gendering, and emotional suppression. By restoring emotional flow and collective witnessing, it addresses the embodied impacts of colonial harm on the nervous system and relational life. This work is carried forward through Queerida, a decolonial ethic of love grounded in reciprocity, tenderness, and responsibility rather than control.
HIS IS NOT HEALING AS CLOSURE
Lloronequis does not promise resolution. It does not rush forgiveness. It does not sanitize pain. This is healing as witnessing. Healing as remembering.
Healing as staying with what coloniality taught us to abandon.
TEARS AS CARTOGRAPHY
Tears are maps.
They show where harm entered the body.
They trace where history still lives in the nervous system.
Every tear marks a site.
A home lost.
A river poisoned.
A child disappeared.
A border crossed.
A lineage interrupted.
Lloronequis is the practice of reading these maps.
Welcome to Lloronequis — where sacred tears map the journey of healing.
