Episode 31: Bodies as Tools of Resistance with Feminist Collective LASTESIS
“Your body is your territory of oppression but also is your tool for fighting and for resistance.”
LASTESIS
We launch Season 6 of Art Persists with Chilean feminist collective LASTESIS.
We chat to Sibila Sotomayor Van Rysseghem and Daffne Valdés Vargas from the collective about their work, using performance and video art to unpack feminist texts and to challenge global patriarchy and its impact on women and the LGBTQI+ community. Sibilia and Daffne discuss some of their most important works including Un violador en tu camino (a rapist in your path) - a performance that went viral and was replicated by different groups in over 50 countries.
As always, if you are enjoying the Art Persists podcast please leave a review wherever you listen. Only with your help can these important stories be heard.
