Abstract

Recognize yourself as a black woman in Abya Yala is a complex procedure that requires, among other demands, awareness of ancestries and historically anti-racist struggles against a whole system aimed at making the black diaspora peoples disappear. Within these battlefields, Luta Cruz was born. A Chilean afrofeminist artist with hirsutism due to several kinds of inflicted violence, which she used to empower herself and promote actions for other women, mainly black ones, do not accept aggressions. This work aims to focus on Luta Cruz, supported by a theoretical background based on Gonzalez (2020), Carneiro (2020), bell hooks (1989), Grada Kilomba (2019), and a video interview with the Chilean afrofeminist Luta Cruz for the YouTube channel “Negra Como Yo” (2020). The main purpose is about presenting the artist and her contribution concerning the confrontation of prejudices and stereotypes over feminism and blackness.
