Reflections on gender and participation from community art processes in Valencia
Keywords:
citizen participation, local governance, community art, women, intersectionality.Abstract
This research stems from the current context where bureaucratised and commodified participation processes are on the rise, and from the demand of two groups in the city of Valencia, Cabanyal Horta and the Assemblea Feminista, to generate accessible processes of community participation. In this sense, there is a commitment to the creation of alternative narratives that favour the creation of futures through artistic mechanisms of citizen participation.
On the other hand, participation cannot be analysed as a fact isolated from the structures of power, which is why, from an intersectional feminist perspective, the analysis of the participatory experience of women in these artistic experiences is approached: in a mixed and non-organised group and in a non-mixed and organised group.
In this way, Feminist Action Research is used as the predominant methodology together with qualitative techniques. Some of the main results show, on the one hand, the potential of artistic interventions and their accessibility to a large part of the population. On the other hand, they point out some structural and contextual obstacles that prevent the full participation of all women.
