Abstract
LAMARTINE, Camila and CERQUEIRA, Carla. Between Cyberfeminism and Artivism: Feminism in Portugal on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. Vista [online]. 2023, n.11, e023005. Epub July 30, 2023. ISSN 2184-1284. https://doi.org/10.21814/vista.4460.
Visual content has been a valuable resource since the creation of the cyberfeminist movement. Together, artivism and the feminist movement aim to decolonise artistic and exclusivist knowledge while also raising awareness of women's issues, especially concerning various forms of gender-based violence. Thus, the main aim of this article is to ascertain how cyberfeminists resorted to feminist artivism to celebrate the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women in Portugal in 2021. To do so, Instagram posts by 10 Portuguese feminist organisations and collectives, posted on 25th November, were analysed through content analysis, and the data divided into online and offline measures - permanent proof of cyberfeminism as a border connecting these mediums. It is worth noting that artivism operates within the current Portuguese feminist movement as a strategic and political tool for the dispersal and propagation of cyberfeminism.
