Abstract

Mujeres Pacíficas is a digital storytelling project created in collaboration with the Gender Commission of COCOMACIA, a Black farmers’ organization that manages part of the collective territories achieved by Black communities in the Colombian Pacific. As an alternative to writing-centric narratives, the stories collected and created as part of the project exemplify storytelling and survival as performative and intentional everyday practices. Valuing daily and repetitive actions as essential part of the embodied knowledge that makes activism possible highlights “being there” and “showing up” as the pillars of the comisionadas’ political practice.
