AIM postdoctoral fellow Dresda Mendez will be conducting a community workshop in Mexico. The workshop is entitled: “This world called my back: Tracing stories of pain, narrating their resistance,” organized by Cidhal, a feminist community education organization. Using body mapping and storytelling methods, women will be reflecting around the body, territory, illness, disability, environment, and resistance.
