Art, Culture and Feminism: Creative Proposals to Disarm Machista Imaginaries A project by LatFem The project, proposed by feminist journalism organization LatFem, is composed of four parts, a musical project, a series of workshops for young people, the production of a book of feminist comics and interviews and a one-day festival. The project aims to promote feminist imagery and ideas in Latin America and to encourage the participation of women, lesbians and trans people in cultural spaces. Feminism in the Argentinian context is vibrant and intersectional, engaged with pushing back against neoliberal policies that are impacting women’s health services as well as the macho ideals that contribute to a high level of violence against women.  In 2015 the ‘Ni Una Menos’ movement triggered many powerful organisations of women in Argentina. Since then, feminist journalism emerged and continues to be a popular means of promoting mobilization on gender rights. Considering the current political climate in Argentina and recent case of abortion-rights demonstrations in 2018, women’s rights continue to be a subject of debate in the country. _++Outputs:++_
