Today we're highlighting a recent post from @/oxfaminternational on IG.
-
Resistance takes many forms, and in the case of Sara Curruchich her tool has been music. Of Mayan Kaqchikel origin, this Guatemalan artist makes through with her combative and empowering songs.
Sara's music combines traditional Mayan sounds and instruments with feminist and anti-colonial lyrics - with many fragments sung in Kaqchikel, her mother tongue.
Her art is a way of vindicating the existence of native peoples and honoring their memory, resistance, culture and language. She sings about the strength of her ancestors, the relationship with the environment, gender violence, racism and patriarchy.
She has managed to break the obstacles involved in making revolutionary music and being an Indigenous woman in Guatemala, including tackling stereotypes. In recent years, she was able to take her message to many stages around the world and reach millions of people.
Sara is a true pioneer and a role model. She is one of the women who is building a better future for all the others, especially Indigenous girls and women.
This Women’s Month we celebrate all other women changemakers and their movements worldwide because we believe that !
Let’s promote voices as , which are political acts that drive positive change in our societies.
