ASEED Europe welcomes you once again to the monthly inter-campaign Climate Justice Voku in De Fabriek Volkskamer. From 6.30-7.30pm Code Rood has an information table for anyone wishing to engage with their Shell Must Fall campaign. A delicious solidarity meal will be served from 7pm. Your generous contributions directly support MamaKiya e.V. in Germany and Peru.

At 8pm, just before desert, we will start with our Ecofeminism Workshop held by Amanda Luna Tacunan. Amanda works in the health sector as a teacher, is an activist, indigenous leader and project manager for MamaKiya e.V. in Germany and Peru. ASEED Europe invited her to come over from Cologne to share her perspective on Ecofeminism with us. We are curious to meet her and learn more about Ecofeminism from the perspective of an indigenous quechua woman from Peru.

What can you expect from this workshop?
Clearly, the relation between women and nature is really old and through similar form of domination, the patriarchal model has equated both. The logical of domination about the women as a breeding agent projected itself in a extreme way over nature. We will develop our subjects in three blocks.

1. We will analyse the concept of Pachamama, known or interpreted after the colonization as “mother earth”, version of the Andean people that afterwards was re-apropriated and disseminated by various environmental movements in Latin America and the world.
2. We will understand the idea of a female provider nature, which complements the human being. Depending on the socio-cultural, historical, political and economic conditions of each country and/or region of Latin America.
3. We will talk about the concept of “Buen vivir” (Good living)showing a critical view and contribution from the gender perspective since this concept is problematic mainly because of the understanding of the concept of “MOTHER” within a system of patriarchal and capitalist domination, which is often not pious and protective, but destructive.

Hope to see you there!
