SUMMARY:Feminist performance in times of rising fascism\, Colectivo LASTESIS (Daffne Valdés and Sibila Sotomayor V.) in Conversation with Marcela Fuentes
UID:641307@northwestern.edu
TZID:America/Chicago
DESCRIPTION:A conversation with Prof. Marcela Fuentes on LASTESIS’s groundbreaking performance research. Join us for an exploration of how the collective uses collage-based methods to translate feminist theory into embodied practice\, drawing from performance art and graphic interventions in both public space and the stage. Together\, we’ll examine where aesthetic experimentation meets political urgency and get an early look at their latest inquiry into what they describe as “a nebulous time.”  Bio:  LASTESIS is an artistic\, interdisciplinary\, and feminist collective from Valparaíso\, Chile\, composed of Daffne Valdés Vargas and Sibila Sotomayor Van Rysseghem. They are dedicated to disseminating feminist theses and demands\, combining performing\, sound\, and visual arts with poetry and social science frameworks. Among their most notable works is the performance “Un violador en tu camino” (A Rapist in Your Path\, 2019)\, replicated in more than 50 countries\, and the book Quemar el miedo (Planeta\, 2021)\, published in English as Set Fear on Fire (Verso\, 2023) and also translated into Norwegian\, Turkish\, Italian\, and German. In 2020\, LASTESIS was included in TIME magazine’s list of the 100 most influential people in the world.  PRESENTED BY: The Department of Performance Studies  Co-sponsored by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese\, the Latin American and Caribbean Studies Program\, the Critical Studies in Theatre and Performance Cluster\, and the Graduate Program in Performance Studies
