This article analyzes and explains the link between urban spaces, the general population and the dissident collective Pachaqueer founded in May 2013 in the Metropolitan District of Quito (DMQ). It is essential to point out that Pachaqueer has built an urban project that consists of carrying out anti-capitalist struggles, using body and sensorial anthropology as a resource for emancipation to generate a provocative art that questions the dynamics of power and oppression that constitute the different forms of institutionality inscribed in it. In the context of the capital, proposing to recover the poiesis of the body as a mechanism of resilience in the face of the binary views existing in the colonial reality of Quito, as well as in the politically shaped spaces, and conceive it as an essential or material object.

Keywords : body anthropology; countercultural; dissident; Pachaqueer; performan.
