Marie-Pier Lafontaine and Rafia Zakaria in conversation with Nelly Luna

South to North Conversations: in first person

Arequipa 2025, 

The feminist struggle can be looked at from various angles, and this event features two authors who do so from the intensity of their own experience. Marie-Pier Lafontaine (Canada) resists in the face of family abuse and breaks the silence that surrounds it in Chienne, while Armer la rage takes an angry swing at shame and trauma. The Pakistani lawyer and journalist Rafia Zakaria advocates a dismantling of the hegemony of white, Western, middle-class feminism, complicit in capitalist imperialism. Against White Feminism aims to break a yoke and create a future free of racism. Feminism will be intersectional, or it will not be feminism. In conversation with Nelly Luna.
