Product Description

In 1930s Bolivia selfdescribed Anarchist Cholas form a libertarian trade union. In the Northern Highlands of Vietnam the songs of one girl’s youth lead her to a life of activism. In the Philippines female elders from Kalinga blaze a trail when pushed into an impromptu protest. Equally striking accounts from Chile Ecuador India Nepal and Peru weave a tapestry of trauma and triumph shedding light on nottoodistant histories otherwise overlooked. Indigenous Peoples all over the world have always had to stand their ground in the face of colonialism. While the details may differ what these stories have in common is their commitment to resistance in a world that puts profit before respect and western notions of progress before their own. Movements Moments is an introductory glimpse into how Indigenous Peoples tell these stories in their own words. From Southeast Asia to South America vibrant communities must grapple with colonial realities to assert ownership over their lands and traditions. This project was undertaken in cooperation with the GoetheInstitut Indonesien in Jakarta. These stories were selected from an open call across fortytwo countries to spotlight feminist movements and advocacies in the Global South.
