In November 2019, Colectiva Las Niñas de Guatemala was invited by Mujeres Transformando El Mundo (MTM) to El Estor, Izabal, to establish initial contact and document the first impressions of the women's groups with whom the project"Jornada de Expresión y Movimiento" would later be developed.
Women's bodies in this country have become wounded territories marred by violence. Everyday life and its social dynamics have reached irrational levels of incoherence.
El proyecto genera una propuesta metodológica de exploración y creación artística de forma colectiva. Dicha metodología acompañó a las participantes a descubrir y conectarse con su cuerpo, sus emociones, sus pensamientos y su creatividad.
The exhibition held at the Plaza de las Niñas (Girls’ Square) on November 25 had a profound impact on the organizations that convened to mobilize and witness the performance.
"Destilando Morado y Verde" is an artistic and political performance that stands against the 59-40 initiative, which supposedly protects children and adolescents against gender identity disorders, and the 9-2022 law, which declared Guatemala the pro-life capital of Latin America. These actions demonstrate that the government has no interest in the current situation of girls, young women, and women in Guatemala.
Alzar La Voz: Es Mi Derecho es un proyecto que trabaja en talleres de expresión y movimiento para niñas, mujeres y jóvenas con la intención de facilitar herramientas de empoderamiento y sanación, fortaleciendo la conexión con sus cuerpos y con ellas mismas.
