Abstract: This visual essay explores the creative counter-narratives produced in the Theoretical-Practical Art and Gender Laboratories to Dismantle Violence Against Women and Girls, held virtually by the Women's Museum Costa Rica (WMCR) in alliance with the Cultural Centre of Spain in Costa Rica (October-November 2021). The laboratories focused on three thematic axes: (1) the social and familial obligation to "be"; (2) exchange relations involving women's bodies; and (3) the symbolic dimension of patriarchy and the body as a canvas. Participants engaged in reflective and artistic processes to challenge patriarchal norms and express gendered resistance. The methodological approach was grounded in popular feminist pedagogy, which promotes critical reflection, horizontality, and deconstruction of binary categories (Korol, 2007). The laboratories also drew on intersectional feminist theory, providing a multidimensional framework to examine how power and inequality operate across identity, corporality, and geopolitical contexts. Inspired by Crenshaw's concept of intersectionality, this initiative amplified voices often silenced by overlapping systems of oppression, offering a creative space for feminist resistance and transformative dialogue.
