Join us in a dialogue with the mapuche poet and feminist activist Daniela Catrileo. She will talk about indigeneity, feminism and mapuche poetry in the social and political context of Chile and Argentina. Her work combines mapuche traditions, politics and knowledge with contemporary discourses of radical feminism and poetic and artistic experimentation practices. The talk will be in Spanish and English. Translations will be provided.
