Description
Nuestra intención ha sido contar la violencia desde el cuerpo de las mujeres. La entendemos, a esa violencia, como una piedra que cae en un lago. Como ondas que se expanden, que avanzan en el espacio, cada vez más sutiles, silenciosas. ¿Cómo nos ha cruzado la violencia de esta guerra? Desplazadas, amenazadas, desaparecidas, asesinas. ¿Cómo nos habita? Identificamos nuestras historias a partir de nuestros verbos, nuestros cuerpos-territorio.
