Drawing on the performance Un violador en tu camino by the Chilean feminist theater collective LasTesis, Deborah Shaw's presentation analyzes performances of disobedience in Chilean and transnational contexts. Following the work of environmentalists and communicators involved in social movements in the city of Concepción, the film Humo sobre los humedales(Smoke over wetlands) portrays the role of women in the uprising that took to the streets of Santiago and all the cities of Chile between October and December 2019. After the screening Marcel and Shaw will enter into conversation with Paz Guevara. This event is held in collaboration with PROTAGONISTAS: Resistance • Feminisms • Revolution, a Festival by HAU Hebbel am Ufer and takes place in dialogue with Knowledge Ties #3: Amor Rojo on 26 June.
