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.
