Denisse Duncan, a Barcelona-based playwright and theatre director born in Costa Rica, is one of the most active voices in anti-racist struggle and Black feminism in Spain. She uses her work as a means to create social dialogues centred on diversity from an Afrofeminist perspective. Her aim is to build a theatrical and artistic landscape that reflects the diversity of Catalonia. From this perspective, she co-founded the collective Tinta Negra, an Afro-descendant creative space that promotes not only activism but also the strength of cultural work in community. In this interview, Denisse reflects on her trajectory and on the barriers she has had to overcome as a woman, Black, and migrant in a cultural circuit that still struggles to imagine itself as diverse.
