Keywords:

The research team “Feminist Epistemologies: Convergences of Body/Knowledge for the Decolonization of Knowledge, Power, and Gender,” led by Gabriela Bard Wigdor, co-based in the Area of Feminisms, Gender, and Sexualities (FemGeS) of the María Saleme de Burnichon Research Center (FFyH-UNC) and carried out by the working group “El Telar: community of Latin American feminist thought,” seeks to produce pluriversal and decolonial knowledge about local issues affecting feminized subjects in the Global South. Drawing on the contributions of thinkers and activists from Our America, with an emphasis on decolonial feminisms as an approach, practice, and process for the construction of a good life, the team has been developing biweekly spaces for reading and internal training, circulating readings from Our America and the Caribbean, as well as from key intellectuals of post- and decolonial thought. As part of these processes of reading, debate, and internal production, in April 2019, at the National University of Córdoba, they created a space for learning, debate, and epistemic/political construction with Adriana Guzmán, an Aymara feminist leader from the Bolivian organization “Feminismo Comunitario Antipatriarcal” (Anti-Patriarchal Community Feminism). Within the framework of this activity, the team took on the challenge of sharing their knowledge with the university and activist community of Córdoba and, to this end, coordinated with multiple institutions such as the Faculty
