By analyzing contemporary feminist politics in Peru through the lens of artistic and creative practices, this book provides a critical example of feminist struggle in a context of conservative backlash and political crisis. The Peruvian feminist movement offers a clear illustration of the relationship between art and contemporary activism. Yet it has not previously received significant attention in the literature on Latin American feminist movements. Visual and Embodied Politics offers a novel framework for analyzing the role of art in activism: not just as a strategy or form of expression, but also as a way of understanding the world. The strategies used by contemporary activists include illustration, performance, embroidery, video production, photography, dance and more. This book's analysis of these activists and their strategies to address political crises, gendered violence, and reproductive injustice provides new understandings of activism, and what social movements can learn from feminist activists.
