Counter-stories of life and art

Abstract

Through an approach to the daily life and creative work of four South American women, we glimpse possibilities of doing and living that occur outside the conventional logics of artistic production linked to consumption dynamics. Caring for oneself, others, the environment, the living and things, is important within these processes and is the common dimension that relates them. Thanks to these gestures of care and art, poetics are gestated to oppose the grand narratives of fear and death that dominate today.
