‘Homenaje a la Mujer Campesina’ [translation: A Homage to Peasant Women] was a photographic exhibition held at two different locations in the towns of Toca (March 2016) and Minca (June 2016) in Colombia at local farmer’s markets days. The photographic exhibitions explored the lives, labour and power of peasant women in two communities, who actively participated in the curation of images and text with the lead investigator Dr Laura Rodriguez Castro (ADI, Deakin University). The two-site exhibition was an output of community-led participatory arts projects that sought to theorise, understand, and illustrate how rural women engage with and enact decolonial feminist imperatives and politics in the Colombian countryside. The contributions to feminist and decolonial knowledge of this project including the exhibitions is published in the book Decolonial Feminisms, Powe and Place: Sentipensando with Rural Women in Colombia (Palgrave, 2021), which has been endorsed by leading decolonial scholar Professor Emeritus Arturo Escobar and reviewed positively in the Q1 journals such as Gender, Place & Culture and Journal of Intercultural Studies. Working from a decolonial standpoint that challenged how we share and value research outputs and situated in the interdisciplinary fields of cultural geography and feminist research, the exhibitions aimed to have community-focused impact. Thus, situating the exhibition in a local farmer’s market resulted in material and symbolic contributions to the communities and women who were part of the curatorial process. Recognising the significance of the visual narratives generated in the exhibitions, a six-page solicited publication of selected images and text were subsequently published in the Edition 4 of So Fi Zine in November 2018 with a Guest Editorial by Professor Emerita Raweyn Connell (Frances Street Press ISSN 2651-8724).Publication classification
