Hay Festival Querétaro 2023 – Family

«There is only one mother», as the saying goes, but there are many different motherhoods. Such as one of the characters in Yeguas exhaustas by Bibiana Collado (Spain), a mother whose fingers are stiff from work, in a novel about exhausted mothers; or that motherhood that never comes in Chispitas de carne. Fatima Ouassak (France), in La puissance des mères, proposes that mothers can become a new revolutionary subject, able to challenge institutional violence and transform fear into resistance. From a force for peace to a threat to the established order.
