Aftermovie SUBALTERNAS

Revisiting SUBALTERNAS, a shared residency at Mestizo Arts Platform and KVS

The LASTESIS Collective (Chile) collaborated with artists: Maryam K. Hedayat, Lucila Guichón and Jennifer Baez Matos. Together, they zoomed in on the theme of subalternity (a state of subordination brought about by colonisation or other forms of economic, social, racial, linguistic and/or cultural domination, Spivak; Bidaseca), in dialogue with the diaspora.

18 November, they launched an open call for the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.

They campaigned in front of the Beurschouwburg in Brussels and processed the letters they collected through the open call together with video projections into a performance lecture at KVS, 26 November 2021 during Proximamente Festival.
