“…The most notable example of this was the 2019 performance ‘A Rapist in Your Path’ by Chilean feminist collective Las Tesis. As several scholars have shown, the performative was central to the success of this campaign in gaining media attention but also appealing to feminists across generations (Serafini, 2020; De Fina, Gonzalez, 2021; Martin and Shaw, 2021). In Peru, ‘Alfombra Roja’ was a 2014 performance campaign aiming to draw attention to women's rights violations in which participants dressed in red lay on the ground to create a ‘red carpet’ representing the rights that were being walked all over (Ballón Gutiérrez, 2014).…”

The issue of the body is central to feminist theory and activism. This article draws on social movement and performance theory to analyse the role of the body as a site of activism in performances and as a site that is subject to patriarchal and racial oppression. Through embodied activism, feminists reclaim their bodies as a contested site of oppression to reframe the terms of the debate on abortion and demonstrate the possibility for embodied and creative politics to create new, more inclusive forms of activist practices.

“…Latin America has been a laboratory for joining art and political practice since at least the late 1950s, when social movements generated public interventions and new forms of theater, from the Zapatistas’ use of art and digital means (Berti, 2021) to recent forms of feminist artivism, such as the protest-performance “Un violador en tu camino” (a rapist in your path) by Chilean group Las Tesis (de Fina Gonzalez, 2021). Latin American feminist activists are also pioneering the use of data for activism against feminicide (D’Ignazio, 2024).…”

Data has become a key format for activists to visibilizar (make visible/call attention to) and denounce social issues. Drawing on the concept of “artivism,” we name as data artivism those works that visually intervene in the contestation around an issue by mobilizing art and craft as a form of resistance and as a method to visualize data. In this commentary, we share three examples of data artivism on the issue of feminicide. Our aim is to inspire the fields of critical data and data visualization studies to engage more deeply with art and find common language with artists, activists and advocacy groups (particularly those in Latin America), who are going beyond conventional visualization to reveal a range of alternative ways to mobilize data.
