Written from the bodies: Collective experiences, bodily diversity, and extensive processes
Keywords:
activism, university extension, contemporary literature, poemsSynopsis
This book is a collection of moments, people, and words within the framework of two university outreach projects. The first project was developed in 2021 and was called Mujeres Activando: experiences of literary workshops as spaces for problematizing fat-hating discourses and practices. The second project, presented in 2022 as a direct continuation of the first, was called Building (Post)Pandemic Networks: Literary Workshops for Problematizing Gender Violence and Fat-Hating. In their work, both projects sought to create spaces for meeting and collective work, where poetry became a powerful tool for putting into words what was happening around us and—perhaps—remained in the realm of the silenced.
