This section gathers all iterations of Poner el cuerpo o el futuro ya es feminista, including its earlier art-education exploratory versions
Festival Internacional Cuatro X Cuatro
Playas de Rosarito and Muro Fronterizo Playas de Tijuana, Baja California
2025
A new iteration of Poner el cuerpo o el futuro ya es feminista took place during the Festival Internacional Cuatro X Cuatro at the Centro de las Artes de Playas de Rosarito, culminating in a public intervention at the Muro Fronterizo in Playas de Tijuana. In this iteration, the laboratory worked with a mixed group of women and men, exploring how different bodies can inhabit feminist positions and contribute to a collective feminist becoming, while dismantling gendered preconceptions. The intervention opened a space of dialogue with passers-by, where both supportive and critical voices revealed the persistence of prejudice alongside a desire to affirm feminist values from shared dignity and equality. By framing the question of where territory begins, the project invoked the notion of Abya Yala to unsettle geopolitical borders and imagine a continental “we” in the face of multiple crises. This collective experience, accompanied by participants and guests, unfolded the 8th Manifestation Banner as a kind of spell of protection and as an act of care, listening, and feminist awarness.
