Join LASTESIS for this collaborative and interactive workshop!

This interactive workshop addresses themes of feminist resistance through collective and collaborative work. Reflecting on the 50th anniversary of the Chilean coup, participants will learn about the work methodology of colectivo LASTESIS: a collage methodology that seeks to bring feminist theory into practice, generating a translation of text and words into other materialities and artistic languages. The support that encompasses and unites these different languages, specifically, is performance articulated with interventions and graphic creations, all from a collaborative and collective work.

The workshop is primarily for women and people from the LGBTQIA+ community but all are welcome; whether from feminist or artistic organisations or people with an interest in performance, feminism and/or art.

Be sure to also check out the lecture "Art, rights and resistance for the 21st century" with LASTESIS on 14 November.
