Poetry and Movement

In collaboration with Instituto Cervantes, representatives of all the Latin American women communities in Manchester are here to commemorate this day through dance and literature from wonderful writers who fight for women’s rights in Latin America.

International Women’s Day is a powerful platform to raise awareness about the challenges and inequalities that women face, such as gender-based violence, unequal access to education and healthcare, and limited economic opportunities.

We take this time to think of the Latin women poets who have influenced Latin American literature and continue to influence and inspire it today – despite whatever socio-political or cultural challenges they faced in their respective times. Colibrí Mexican Folkdance will also perform a traditional dance and a choreography to reflect the problem of femicide in Latin America.

Free – just drop in.
