María Galindo in conversation with María Michelle Villanueva Moreno
Feminisms: campaign, provoke, act
–
UAQ, Facultad de Filosofía (Anfiteatro El Molcajete), Campus Aeropuerto
Defining María Galindo(Bolivia) is to talk about anarcho-feminism; about the Mujeres Creando movement; the idea of the “tecnoshaman”; and about books such as Feminismo bastardo, Ninguna mujer nace para puta and No se puede descolonizar sin despatriarcalizar. About occupying the streets, as if they were trenches; about deconsecrating the academy; and disputing feminism from the south and from the periphery; all through activism, campaigning and provocation. There are many “Galindos” in this unmanageable writer, whom we will meet at this event with María Michelle Villanueva Moreno(Mexico).
Cristina Monge in conversation with Luis Alberto Fernández
Against discontent
–
UAQ, Biblioteca Campus Centro Histórico - Dirección General de Bibliotecas y Servicios Digitales de Información
The Spanish writer Cristina Mongeis the current winner of the Paidós Essay Prize for Contra el descontento. In it, she analyses the main challenges of the century, such as job insecurity, digital loneliness and disaffection towards institutions and their representatives. The author argues that we are living through a period of profound discontent that calls democratic coexistence into question; a critical analysis that culminates, however, in a hopeful outlook on this collective unease: if we revive public discourse, if we defend the facts and rebuild a new social contract, we will strengthen democracy.

The Illegals
–
Cineteca Rosalío Solano
The Illegals, written by Shaun Walker(UK), The Guardian’s correspondent for Central and Eastern Europe, is the story of Russia’s most secret and long-running espionage programme. Established in the wake of the Bolshevik Revolution and still active today, this system has, for over a century, infiltrated other countries with citizens of Soviet origin –and agents recruited abroad– so that they blend into everyday life. The programme, which has provided its operatives with false identities, has sought to gain the trust of those around them and obtain key information for the government. In conversation with BBC Mundo journalist Juan Carlos Pérez(Colombia), Walker discusses these spies known as “illegals”.

Enforced disappearances

The reality of enforced disappearances is one of Mexico’s most serious structural crises.

Journalist Gabriela Warkentin and singer and activist Vivir Quintanawill speak to the BBC Mundo journalist Juan Carlos Pérezabout this recent controversy and analyse what steps need to be taken to end impunity and alleviate the suffering of families.

Nearby solutions: politics from the local and the regional
–
Jardín Guerrero
No one understands the needs of their citizens better than municipal and regional leaders, who interact with their concerns and ways of life on a daily basis. Their unique position enables them to gain an insider’s understanding of local realities, which is why they play a crucial role in the provision of public services and the implementation of development policies. Ana Paola López Birlain, Secretary of Culture of the State of Querétaro, Felifer Macías, Municipal President of Querétaro and a representative from CAF —the organisation that produced the report Soluciones cercanas: el papel de los gobiernos locales y regionales en América Latina y el Caribe— discuss how to engage in grassroots politics with the people in their communities.
Enrique Díaz Álvarez and Cristina Monge in conversation with Daniel Pardo
Against the intolerable
–
Casa Hay Festival — SURA (salón lateral)
Has any news story today made you feel uneasy? What is the reason for your disagreement or agreement? Enrique Díaz Álvarez(Mexico) says in Lo intolerable that we have broadened our tolerance threshold so much that we have normalised the unacceptable. And Cristina Monge(Spain) —author of Contra el descontento— says that there is a build-up of social discontent that has led us to question democracy itself. Winners of the 2021 Anagrama Essay Prize and the 2026 Paidós Prize respectively, both thinkers discuss the risks of complacency with the BBC Mundo journalist Daniel Pardo(Colombia) as they seek a way out of this situation.
