From May 24 to 29, the anthropologist and feminist Rita Segato will be in Barcelona to participate in the Fira Literal. During her stay, she will participate in two events on the collaboration and co-organization of the ICIP.
Segato is mainly known for her research on gender-based violence and the relationships between gender, racism and colonialism.
The first event will occur on Sunday, May 26, at 12.30 pm at the Fabra i Coats Creation Factory. The activity is entitled ‘Feminism against punitiveness’. It will be a conversation between Segato, Laura Macaya, educator and co-author of the book ‘Alianzas Rebeldes’, and Nuria Alabao, journalist and PhD in anthropology. Sandra Martínez, responsible for the ‘Alternatives of Security’ area of the ICIP, will moderate the event.
This space for debate will occur within the Fira Literal framework. It has been held annually since 2015 and is a trade fair for critical thinking books in any language. All the activities of the fair are free and open to the public. Public members can access all rooms on a first-come, first-served basis.
The second activity, co-organized by ICIP and Barcelona City Council, will occur at the Social Hub on Wednesday, May 29, at 6.30 pm. With the title ‘Contributions of feminism to global challenges for peace’, in this event, Segato will reflect on the contribution of decolonial feminism to the understanding and transformation of violence.
Journalist Laura Aznar will moderate the event. It will include an open turn for the public. There will also be a zero row with interventions by leading people and experts in the fields of sexual violence, feminist philosophy, and LGBTIQ+ activism.
