Embodying Chaos: Ten Years of Hysterix

A durational intervention of the Peruvian artists collective Hysterix in Konsthall C in Stockholm (December 15, 2022 – January 14, 2023). The intervention consists of conversations and shared practices of care, in which testimony and active listening will be the main methods of knowledge production. La Dekoloniala! and Hysterix co-organize these collaborative actions in which creation and activities of daily life merge to conceive a new body of work.

Parte Encuentro

As an essential warm-up to this project, the “Parte Encuentro” program will be held, which will be a series of online encounters between artists, activists—and much more—from the Global South who live in different territories such as Stockholm, Lima, La Paz and Santa Cruz with whom we share practices of creation and action with. They are our support and work network during these years.


Parte Encuentro 1: Sunday 23 October, 16:00 Stockholm/9am Lima

Organizers: Hysterix & La Dekoloniala!

About the first meeting:

Las Hysterix and Las Warmis biChxZ/Las Insurgentes get together to rethink their creative practices, activisms, their trajectories in Lima and the public/private spaces in dispute. Occasions in which their work and their lives have intersected in recent years, around art, partying, rage and their common struggles. In this conversation, we will reflect on the trajectories that the work of both groups has taken, adapting to changes in society and in their daily lives.The feminist collectives Hysterix and Las Insurgentes meet once again to remember and rethink the occasions in which their work and lives have intersected in recent years, around art, celebration, rage and their common struggles. In this conversation, we will reflect on the trajectories that the work of both collectives has taken as it has adapted to changes in society and in the lives of the artists.
