Intersectionality

We understand and recognize how different social and political contexts result in the systematic discrimination and exclusion of certain communities. We believe in the power of these voices of refusal, rejection and resistance.

Feminism

We believe that it is of utmost importance to keep challenging the patriarchy and the innumerable ways it has infiltrated everything, from our societies to our psyches.

Decolonialism

We wish to highlight the persistence of coloniality in the spaces we inhabit and keep proposing the different way we may take in dismantling it.
