The Feminist Cities CoLab undertakes interdisciplinary and multimodal research of feminist activism and urban violence in Latin American cities. Funded by the British Academy, we aim to co-produce research with activists and artists from across Latin America, adopting feminist and participatory methodologies to investigate strategies for creating safer cities in the face of everyday and spectacular forms of urban violence. As feminist researchers, we are committed to building just, equitable and anti-oppressive worlds, for all women, men and gender non-conforming people.
