Claim The Waves *

Karen, member of the Abya Yala Libre Leipzig Feminist Collective, created a show to honor the traditional and fusion music of the Colombian Pacific Coast. This music is entangled with the struggles and resistances of the Afro-Colombian communities inhabiting these territories, who have protected them from institutional neglect and violence related to the armed conflict. These struggles and resistances have crystallized in the election of Francia Márquez-Mina as the first Afro-Colombian vice president in Colombia's history. She embodies a new form to understand an intersectional feminism and the opportunity to image a post-capitalist world, in which human and non-human life prevails over predatory accumulation.
