Collaboration with Lorena Wolffer through DISIDENTA: Community of Social Practice + Feminist Knowledge
DESEIDADES: POSSIBLE FEMINIST ROUTES - A SPACE FOR COLLECTIVE IMAGINATION
Deseidades: rutas posibles desde los feminismos (Deseidades: Possible Feminist Routes) was a series of reflective spaces we organized with 36 feminists from diverse fields to collectively think and imagine the pathways we can chart from feminisms to eradicate the inequities and systemic violences of cis heteropatriarchy in Mexico, with a focus on Mexico City, our territory of action.
The taking of the "Victoria Alada" monument in August 2019 and the massive gatherings on March 8th of the following year, both in Mexico City and other cities across the country, pointed to the fact that we had finally managed to center the systemic violences against women and gender dissidents in the national conversation. However, just a week later, the pandemic hit, and the urgency shifted.
In the next two years, actions, protests, and occupations were articulated, but, with a few notable exceptions, most of these were reactive, used language and strategies that contributed to the criminalization of women, and/or had lost their power and effectiveness. Meanwhile, divisions within feminism were growing, urging us to reconsider our positions and alliances.
Seeking to bring together diverse knowledges, perspectives, and experiences, we called upon individuals from a wide range of disciplines and viewpoints to collectively reflect on what comes next and what actions we should take.
