We suggest: The arts rule the street

“What we are experiencing is a reflection of the invisibility of people. At some point this situation had to come, the moment had to come when people said: ‘We can no longer resist abuse. We can no longer resist bad living, ‘”said Eduardo Bechara Navratilova in the first meeting of” Poetry of Resistance. ” The writer added that since the November 2019 marches, the publishers had the idea of reading resistance poems in the open air, a process that culminated in the publication of the anthology I come to offer my poem , a book that brings together the common thread of the encounters, which also has its origin in the social outbreak that Chile experienced that same year.

Escarabajo Editorial and Abisinia Editorial, with the support of the Human Rights Memory Warehouse Foundation and the Quira Medios Cultural Portal, support the requests and claims of the National Unemployment Committee and, as such, invite a third day of reflection on the subject. The poets Susy Delgado (Paraguay), Jorge Boccanera (Argentina), Roxana Miranda Rupailaf (Mapuche-Huilliche People), Ashanti Dinah (Colombia), José Ángel Leyva (Mexico) and Albeiro Montoya Guiral (Colombia), will participate in the third meeting, as These voices find in art and literature a way to resist and to create a way for the harmony between the different social sectors.
