Alzar La Voz Es Mi Derecho is a project that offers expression and movement workshops for girls, young women, and women, with the goal of providing tools for empowerment, healing, and strengthening the connection to their bodies and themselves.

The 2025 rap and movement workshops were designed for young female artists from Patojismo, Colectivo Bat’z, and Peronia Adolescente. These workshops are based on a methodology where rhythm and movement are key tools for creating in community. As a result of this year’s work, we presented a Cypher, which became a highlight of our 2025 experience. The participants showcased their talent, accompanied by breakdancing and stilt performances. These experiences, rich in mutual learning, affirmed the power of art to transform and empower. We are deeply grateful to have been part of this exchange.

Art plays an important role in the lives of these patojas (young girls)—some practice stilt-walking, breakdancing, poetry, some write, and others play the marimba.
