Theme: in this year 2020 we want to refer to the Resistance as an aesthetic form, as a political act, as an existence of the multitudes that have resisted in history and in honor of the struggles that occurred in 2019. The R-existence in a patriarchal state and heteronormative has been our main struggle, and we understand that in order to decolonize, we must depatriate the E-state. For this we want to show how from the communities, territories, different identities and collective groups, we make resitance by occupying their own aesthetics and policies. As every year, the purpose is to promote artistic practices that vindicate the gender struggle and generate critical thinking, in order to bring feminisms closer to citizens, recover public spaces and generate encounters. The videos have to think over on the system, the classical paradigms of society, on culture, art, creation and aesthetics. The festival does not promote violent messages, we know the violence that is exerted on everyone, our job is to send messages of struggle, emancipation and resistance, from our identities, sexualities, corporalities and experiences.
