CUERO-MONTENEGRO, Astrid Yulieth. Theater as Anti-Racist Feminist Intervention. Reflections on the plays Ebony Root and Yellow Flowers. LiminaR [online]. 2017, vol.15, n.2, pp.48-59. ISSN 2007-8900.  https://doi.org/10.2536/liminar.v15i2.529.

In this article I reflect on the relationship between culture, art and anti-racist feminist politics, based on my participation as a speaker in the Theater-Forum Gender and Racism held in Bogota in 2011. Through the analysis of two plays, and in light of theoretical reflections on the interconnections between sexism and racism, I discuss the interventionist role of feminist, antiracist theater, and consider such intervention as a way to raise awareness of racism and anti-feminism as experienced corporally by women. Finally, I look at theater as an aesthetic and political event with great potential for stimulating the questioning of colonial power relations and the mechanisms of classist, racist and sexist oppression.

Palabras llave : theater; political participation; feminism; racism; sexism; feminist intervention.
