Komadrona Media Lab
Repensarnos como un espacio de Intersección comunitaria de saberes plurales que se expanden, y que contribuyen a la reivindicación de la visibilización, mirada crítica y formas diversas de vivenciar (to embody the birth) el parto. Desde un enfoque antropológico situado en lo social, político y cultural, hacia la reparación de la memoria, saberes y prácticas, que cuidan, sostienen y promueven la justicia reproductiva, la decolonización del nacimiento y la dignificación del buen parir, el buen nacer, y el bienestar colectivo.
We are a research media space of community intersection where, through art, documentaries, photography, and diverse media, we honor the plural knowledges that continue to expand and contribute to the recognition and visibility of critical perspectives, as well as the many ways of experiencing and understanding birth.
From an anthropological approach grounded in the social, political, and cultural, we work toward the repair of memory, knowledge, and practices that care for, sustain, and promote reproductive justice, the decolonization and dignity of birth, midwives, and collective well-being.
Parteras ~ Midwives
My work and this lab seeks to create a space of visibility and accompaniment for the struggle of community and ancestral midwives, who have historically sustained processes of care and birth in their territories, and who today fight for the recognition of their knowledge, the legitimacy of their practices, and the right to create autonomous midwifery schools free from colonial and hegemonic biomedical impositions.
