Healing Techniques and Technologies II: Transfeminist Self-Defense —Beyond the Physical

A feminist self-defence workshop that combines a physical part (basic positions, strikes, blocks, etc.) with an analysis of different structural violences. Through dynamics and debates, it seeks to strengthen a counterpoint of resistance to the hegemonic imaginary (patriarchal, racist, colonial, classist, ableist). Although physical techniques are worked on, the workshop’s crucial challenge is to break the limits of physicality, reclaiming the notion of self-defence as a legitimate and essential collective struggle tool for those realities that the capitalist, patriarchal and colonial societies we inhabit systematically postpone and oppress.
