What does gender mean in a world that is searching for new forms of living together – across the boundaries of species and bodies? For Gabriela Wiener, the body is an anti-colonial laboratory of intimacy. Luisa Reyes Retana writes about female collectives as a site of resistance. In her poetry, Eliana Hernández-Pachón searches for a post-human voice for the local ecosystem. Together, these three authors question patriarchal narratives and gender-based violence – with a particular focus on the socialization of young women and their relationship to nature and climate change.
