Feminist Artivism in the Cuyo region of Argentina. The modalities of artistic-political expression and the way of circulation in Internet

This paper aims to approach to the operation modes and organization of the feminist artivism in the Argentine Republic, specifically in the region of Cuyo, composed of the provinces of San Juan, Mendoza, San Luis and La Rioja, located geographically in the west of the country. For the development of the research, there have been selected some collectives and groups of artists and feminist activists from each one of the provinces, which are: Ni Una Menos (San Juan), Las Malonas (Mendoza), the Colectiva Feminista Comechingona (San Luis) and Ni Una Menos (La Rioja). At the beginning the article analyzes the different conceptions that each artistic group has about the meaning of the word “artivism” and from which artistic-political-philosophical position they interpret and act. Later, it explores the modes of operation (dynamics) and activities (music, painting, sculpture, performance, theatre, photography, etc.) carried out by each group. It also analyses the main internal communication modes of the collectives, their digital networks and the platforms through which they organise and disseminate their political-artistic actions.
