Descrizione:This article analyzes the role of artivism in the anti-racist struggle of migrant women who are members of the Independent Union of Domestic and Care Workers (Sindihogar) in Barcelona. The aim is to understand the internal and collective processes through which subversive artistic works are produced within the context of their feminist activism. Using an ethnographic approach, the study examines the political dimension of the art created by this collective during demonstrations such as March 8 and March 30, as well as in exhibitions, marches, and sit-ins. The analysis draws on contributions from anti-racist feminism to deepen the discussion of creative practices as forms of resistance and political expression. The findings suggest that these artistic expressions emerge from sustained processes shaped by emotional experiences and meaningful relationships, where the body plays a central role within atransformative political horizon.
