Mujeres Poderosas
Mujeres Poderosas is an inclusive collective of migrant, Latine, Indigenous, and non-binary folk from the San Francisco Bay Area in California. For almost five years, we have been weaving safe spaces to encourage each other to speak out and share the experiences that wound us, affect us deeply, and feel unjust. Through learning circles, artistic presentations, and community organizing, we have embarked on a path of collective denunciation, using art as a tool for support and transformation.
Through embroidered scraps of material, we make visible the struggles, dreams, aspirations, and reflections of those who have been historically marginalized, imagining a more just and inclusive world together. The term feminist here transcends gender: it represents a vision of equality and dignity for all people, regardless of their identity or how they inhabit their bodies.
Mujeres Poderosas es un colectivo incluyente de mujeres migrantes, latines, indígenas y personas de géneros no conformativos del Área de la Bahía de San Francisco. Desde hace casi cinco años, hemos venido tejiendo espacios de confianza para animarnos a hablar y compartir las experiencias que nos hieren, nos atraviesan y nos resultan injustas. A través de círculos de aprendizaje, presentaciones artísticas y procesos de organización comunitaria, hemos iniciado un camino de denuncia colectiva utilizando el arte como herramienta de apoyo y transformación.
Mediante trapitos bordados, visibilizamos luchas, sueños, aspiraciones y reflexiones de quienes han sido históricamente marginades, imaginando juntes un mundo más justo e incluyente. El término feminista aquí trasciende el género: representa una visión de equidad y dignidad para todas las personas, sin importar su identidad o su manera de habitar el cuerpo.
