Abstract

This article proposes a qualitative analysis of feminist art in the rejection of the ideological naturalization of the female body. Through the examination of two artistic works, the film 'Cosas de Mujeres' (1978) and the performance 'Un violador en tu camino' (2019), the aim is to comprehend the role of feminist arts as political practices and the position of feminisms within artistic endeavours produced specifically in Latin America.
