The artistic-activist practice of Andean femenist María Galindo, challenges directly the racial and social hierarchies that render sexism and homophobia in Bolivia's idiosyncrasy. By means of activism, street performance and television appearances, she has created a true politically engaged practice that takes place in the public sphere.
Galindo is co-founder and director of Mujeres Creando, a feminist organization based in Santa Cruz, Bolivia that seeks justice against physical and symbolic violence to women and homosexuals in Bolivia. The manifesto of Mujeres Creando has also helped understand that indigenous heritage has been violated by a patriarchal oppressive colonial society. It
researches the complex construct of sexuality and gender inequality in a multicultural and multiracial and multilinguistic society like Bolivia’s
