April 17, 4:30 - 7:30- Feminist Struggles in Latin America: past/present. A workshop with Silvia Federici, Verónica Gago, Betty Ruth Lozano, and Cecilia Palmeiro
This workshop is devoted to a conversation about the new forms that a new international feminist movement is taking in Latin America, especially, after the massive mobilizations that followed the calls for an international women’s strike in March 8, 2017 and 2018. The workshop will depart from a series of questions that will guide the discussion with the goal of delineating the forms that the nascent renewed feminism movements are taking in Latin America and how they connect with a longer history of women's mobilization since the sixties.
