As a performer & teacher, #ArtistChangemaker Natalia "Bubulina" Moreno wants to encourage more people like her to follow the path of emerging arts as a form of liberation. Natalia “Bubulina” Moreno Rodriguez's work is a love letter to the intersections of disability, gender, & sexual diversity. “las inválidas! ¿qué hacer con ellas?” is a Natalia "Bubulina" Moreno performance that challenges the feminist discourse about care—which too often does not take into account the experience, wisdom, & knowledge of women with disabilities.

#ArtistChangemaker Shivanjani Lal uses her personal grief & ancestral loss to make work with the intention of diasporic healing. Using objects to tell stories & narrate lived experiences while dreaming of lost possibilities, Shivanjani Lal’s “Pani Begets Pani” is a body of work that shares about memory--most importantly, who gets remembered. “I want to amplify the voices of women in these spaces & use images of my grandmother & her story to tell the stories of my community through this lens.” Shivanjani Lal centers diasporic narrative in her practice. Get to know her work in this thread. https://lnkd.in/dFcjdAGE

They featured Global Fund for Women in their Human Rights Fair and shared why it is important to fund movements. We hope their commitment to gender justice has fueled your feminist fire as much as it has us. #GenderJustice #FeministFunder #ShiftingPower
