In this Parte Encuentro III, the last meeting prior to Hysterix trip to Sweden, the collective will present their mingling with the Expanded Networks: Compañeras, comrades who, from their diverse practices such as music, art, activism and academia, fight and create different possibilities confronting the patriarchal, neoliberal and racist contexts we live in. It will be a meeting with music, readings and videos where we will discuss anti-racist indigenous anti-colonial black feminisms and the different forms of violence against women and non conforming gender people. All this within the framework of the next 25N.  We want us Alive and Free!

Hysterix Collective and the artists Nadia Callau, Laura Barriga and Rocio Chiquimia have shared spaces of creation, action, reflection and loads of affection. 

Each one of the participants of this “Parte Encuentro” lives and works in different contexts with specific issues; these places are La Paz, El Alto, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Tentayapi, in the Bolivian Chaco region, Lima and Stockholm. This time they meet to share and reflect on their artistic practices in relation to the territories they inhabit, transit and those they choose to inhabit and transit. 

What are the places we inhabit? What do they determine? How do we create from there? How do we strengthen ourselves from the distance? How do we strengthen, from the borders that divide us, the radical fabric of affection we have woven together?

This is the second of three “Parte Encuentro”, 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.

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.
