Overview
Maria Galindo is a Bolivian feminist and founder of the Mujeres Creando movement. She writes about the COVID-19 pandemic in a country that has seen the presidential elections postponed and the continuation in power of an interim president who takes advantage of the unprecedented health crisis to try to prove his ability to govern. This runs counter to a decision by Parliament which called presidential elections within 90 days on May 1.
The creation He despertado llorando combines audio, text and illustrations. In order to stimulate the reading of this text of a sharp and tearing lucidity, but also inspiring of an infinite love and a unique will of closeness and solidarity, I leave here its dedicatory: Dedicated to the "transcomando" that cheers my life in the distance, while I fly like a chased bat in the night of the COVID-19.
