Abstract

This project builds on ongoing work in the neighborhood of Bélen in Bogotá to resist gentrification and redevelopment efforts through the creation and expansion of community spaces with a gendered perspective. Researchers from Universidad Jorge Tadeo Lozano worked with a local group of women, the Circle of Women Aisha, to create a community kitchen and expand and renovate an existing community garden at a local community space Casa B. This project focuses on domestic spheres to argue that they are important spaces of feminist politics and community knowledge.
