Description
RECLAMA Event:
RECLAMA: Harnessing Afro-Ecuadorian Women’s heritage – exhibition, presentation & performance
Accompanied by an art exhibition and live dance performance, Ecuadorian activists Juanita and Lorena share their journey towards making Black and Afro women’s cultural practices more visible and discuss how to create positive narratives that contest Black women’s portrayal as victims. We invite local organisations and collectives working to document Black culture and history, to promote women’s empowerment and leadership, and to push anti-racist, decolonial discourse to join this cross-culture discussion.
WRV Film Screening:
Women Resisting Violence: Six short films. Latin American-British collaborations. All produced by women.
Six short films curated by the Latin America Bureau showcase the rich crossover between independent filmmaking and academic research. They centre women telling their stories of resistance, with art often used as a tool for healing and expression.
