Abstract

The author describes the activities of female artists who co-found independent theater collectives that practice feminist artivism and sisterhood in various ways. Their actions are an active expression of opposition to violations of women’s rights, racism, classism, gender discrimination and top-down identity politics. In each of the cases described, the motivation for artivism is not only violence, but more importantly, the question: what ideas and values do female artists-activists advocate for? The methodological framework for the article is feminist theory (primarily the thought of Sara Ahmed), focusing on the everyday practice of feminism, which includes an awareness of intersectionality, an acknowledgment of one’s own privileges, and a desire to create more ethical and just realities. Key-words: feminism, artivism, feminist movement, Afghan women, Ukrainian women, Roma women
