Las Mujeres in Motion, A collective of WaXicana Spoken Word Activist [Performance Art] Poets with the purpose of "empowering mujeres to say [whatever the fuck] they want!!!" The Mujeres in Motion collective is made up of five women. Maritza Soledad, Laura Alviso, Madeline Alviso, Elisa Miranda and Vanessa Alviso. All have stage names, respectively: Soledad, Lala, Nena, Lil bit and Bashi. I have worked extensively for over five [years] with the Alviso family, worked on a Guerrilla Teatro Cooperative with the Alvisos and Maritza Soledad in the spring of 2006. Collectiely we co-hosted a benefit for Atenco and the South Central Farm on June 10, 2006 in Seattle, WA in solidarity with Self-Help Graphics in Los Angeles.

In the following case study I will give a brief biographical sketch of each member of the collective, discuss the historical context of Chicana artist collectives and cultural work in the Pacific Northwest, Make a brief intervention on the discussion of high vs. low art followed by some [literary analysis] of the poetry of the Mujeres in Motion collective.

What I hope to [demonstrate] through this case study is to give voice to a particular style of resistance culture contextualized within an anti-imperialist, anti-patriarchal, New Tribalist, WaXicanista aesthetic de mentalidad toricida. What I hope to accomplish is to encourage other cultural workers by demonstrating that there are folks out there, who are collectively working to make a world where many worlds can exist.
