This session welcomes paper proposals in English, Spanish, and Portuguese that explore any aspect of resistance and activism in Latin American cultural and artistic production. In what ways does cultural and artistic production reflect political and social realities? How is resistance and activism “translated” into cultural and artistic production? This panel aims to highlight modes of protest and dissent, defiance and solidarity, in culture and art that confront and contradict representations, discourses, ideologies, and worldviews constructed and perpetuated by systems of power.
