Micro-Resistances

Visual artist Marwa Arsanios is continuing her work on the relation between feminism, land rights, and ecological activism. She is working with ecofeminist political groups that practice communal farming, such as the Kurdish autonomous women’s movement in Northern Syria, Grupo Semillas in Tolima, Colombia, and DESMI in Chiapas, Mexico. Focusing on the localised knowledge of the land, Arsanios calls into question longstanding associations of womanhood and nature in terms of fertility and nation building.
