The international Woman Scream Festival (Grito de Mujer) in its 12th edition, and in support of the initiatives of the Action Coalitions for Generation Equality of UN Women
for the next years, makes a formal invitation to institutions, members
and nonmembers, to join the cause as volunteer events coordinators, for
the festival’s global cultural chain next March, 2022. This season,
paying a tribute to aboriginal women and women ancestors under the motto
"Origin". Woman Scream 2022 will be a call to remember native
women, whose cultures persist over time in several countries and who
still suffer continuous abuses, in absence of laws that promote the
validation of their rights. It is also a tribute to the women whose
lineage, courage and strength, since ancient times, have been
forerunners of the collective dream, towards a life free from women
violence and equal women's rights.
This
call will take special interest in non-listed cities and countries. If
you wish to become a volunteer coordinator for Woman Scream 2022:
"Origin", send your proposal directly to the movement, through the
contact menu of the page womanscreamfestival.com. The proposals received
must represent the cause in best interest. Requests upon approval and
availability, in accordance with previous acceptance of WS Guidelines.
This
call will close on February 13, 2022, and the calendar of confirmed
events will be published and promoted to the public. Check Woman Scream
Social Networks for more updates.

Woman Scream
is an annual international chain of cultural events during the whole
month of March, that compiles all arts and unifies diverse voices of the
world against women violence. It has been celebrated since 2011. Born
in the Dominican Republic, WS has spread worldwide thanks to the help of
volunteer coordinators. It has been held in over 70 countries and
celebrated over 1000 events in different languages.
Today, after many years of activism, research and solidarity to our cause, we see the dream of our Greek collaborator and friend, Elena Stragkouraki, come true. Her thesis, entitled: "The Woman's Scream Festival as a Public Stand for Poetic Activism: Art and Community in Dialogue", has finally been published by the prestigious German publisher, Peter Lang Publishing (International Academic Publishers). @peterlangpublishing
Almost 12 years after the birth of our cause, we are filled with hope by the endless battles we fought to make this scream heard louder in the consciences and rise higher in the throats of men and women, in favor of those in need.
LET IT BE HEARD TODAY AND ALWAYS!
UNTIL SCREAMING IS NO LONGER NECESSARY ...

“The solidarity and collaboration of Woman Scream coordinators this year have been impressive, in spite of the pandemic”. -Said Jael Uribe, Dominican author and Founder of the WS festival, -“Thanks to them, over 140 virtual and physical events took place in over 20 countries, respecting all health codes protocols. In addition to that, we were able to count on the support of international filmmakers from 18 countries who granted us access to their movies and many volunteers from the UN, who joined our cause to promote, share, and translate festival's events and news on social networks. We are honored to have been able to count on so much support this year! It has been a hard work, but it has been worthwhile".

WOMAN SCREAM FESTIVAL’S PROJECTS
ENCOURAGE WOMEN TO WRITE, TO CREATE, TO SHOWCASE THEIR TALENTS AND CHANGE THE WORLD USING ART – JAEL URIBE - WOMAN
SCREAM FESTIVAL FOUNDER
Jael Uribe is a writer,
storyteller, poet and painter. She is the creator of the female poetic
foundation named Women Poets International. She is considered the initiator of
the Woman Scream International Poetry and Arts Festival, a chain of events
celebrated by poets, artists and cultural associations worldwide, to honor
women and against women violence during the month of March. In this Interview with Wole
Adedoyin, President, Nigerian Chapter of the International Human Rights Art
Festival (IHRAF), she shared with him some facts
surrounding her life, art activism and literary career.
WA: YOU ARE THE FOUNDER OF THE WOMEN
POETS INTERNATIONAL MOVEMENT, WHAT ACTUALLY LED TO THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE
MOVEMENT?
JU: It was my
own personal quest to find talented women writers all over the world that were
using words as a healing process. Being confined in bed, years ago, due to
illness and using poetry as a means to exorcise pain, I developed curiosity and
started to seek for those female writers that were dealing with similar
processes and that were sharing their poetry online seeking for an audience,
just like me.
First, I created a page on Facebook
to share these talented women's work. Then, I started making poetry calls and
contests, then we made our first anthology. What was meant to be just a page,
became a movement due to the great support of women that joined in Europe and
Latin America. Then we reached abroad when we created the Festival Grito de
Mujer (Woman Scream Festival), a place where all these women that became part
of the movement, could emerge as cultural leaders and coordinators of their own
physical poetry events, serving as platform to showcase female talented poetess
on their own cities, instead of just one page.
WA: HOW IS THE WOMEN POETS
INTERNATIONAL MOVEMENT USING ART AND POETRY TO ADVANCE WOMEN DEVELOPMENT IN THE
WORLD?
JU: In 2011,
we created the Woman Scream Festival not only as an open door to women poets
but also, as an event with a sense of cause and a social mission beyond our own
personal interests to become the voice of abused and mistreated women and
families destroyed due to domestic violence. We decided to educate and advocate
through arts. Instead of just making a poetry reading, we chose to communicate
and deliver a message to those in moments of need: Women with low self-esteem,
women of talent who didn’t really realize their own inner value. We encouraged
them to write, to create, to show themselves, to speak up, as well as helping
on their international promotion through our collective projects. We have also
incorporated through Woman Scream Festival all genders and all arts, as means
to target a bigger audience. In time men and children were incorporated in the
cause, making our work more inclusive, reaching all other communities.
We believe only by uniting, we can
reach the violence’s free society we seek for, especially the one affecting
women, girls and families all over the world. We welcome anyone with any
special talent to support the cause in any way they can and to help us spread
our message further.

WA: WHAT HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST
HIGHLIGHT OF THE WOMEN POETS INTERNATIONAL MOVEMENT?
JU: The
Woman Scream Festival (Grito de Mujer) is our pride and joy. Being recognized
by the world, awarded internationally and having been able to share our vision
with people in around 70 countries, celebrating over 1,000 events worldwide,
uniting volunteers and institutions in solidarity with our cause, has been the
most amazing achievement we have ever conquered so far. We are coming for more!
WA: TELL US ABOUT YOUR BACKGROUND
AND EXPERIENCE IN WOMEN ART AND POETRY?
JU: I’ve been
writing since I was 10 years old. Motivated by long hours reading the books my
father kept on his many bookshelves. I never knew what poetry was all about,
until I encountered it at school, then decided to take it seriously before
graduating from college. I began getting involved in cultural events a few
years after I began creating my projects and ever since, poetry has been the
only language I know. I have achieved some poetry awards and recognition for my
involvement in human rights advocacy through the projects I’ve developed. There
is very little time to create when you get involved so much to help others find
their expression, however, poetry has always been my drawing board and so has
art.
Having faced a very hard transition
to adulthood, poetry saved my life “literally”, shaped the harsh, rebel and
dark young girl I was and turned her into a Phoenix. That was exactly the type
of experiences and expression I started looking for when I found my movement,
getting to know women who were creating due to traumatic experiences and
turning them into any form of art. I wasn’t in contact with female arts
or poetry before that, I was facing my own personal process of understanding my
own poetry and my own artistic expression as a designer, painter and artisan.
The work of women in poetry came
later on, after I began to work with the Women Poets International Movement. I
met women in arts two years later, after I started Grito de Mujer (Woman Scream
Festival). Being a leader and creator of such a movement, gave me the impulse
to improve and become a better poet and moreover, a better artist as I
encouraged other women to do the same.
WS first international meeting, Madrid 2016
WA: WHERE IS ART AND POETRY TODAY IN
TERMS OF WOMEN DEVELOPMENT?
JU: There’s
so much we have achieved as women in arts and poetry compared to the past! but
I certainly believe it's still not enough. The path of women in any stage of
society has been literally paved by the blood of those who fought and gave
their lives to make these changes happen and I feel women haven’t yet taken
full advantage of the enormous space there is, men are still ahead and they are
usually the most on any list. Until we reach at least half of the names
highlighted not due to a quote but, as fruit of our talents, there will still
be a lot we’ll need to do. I admit there is more openness of space for female
expression nowadays, thanks to feminist movements such as mine but, the women
names reaching an international level of recognition in art, poetry or any
other, are still too little to consider. It’s time to change that!
WA: HAS THE
SITUATION OF WOMEN CHANGED USING ART?
JU: If you
mean by change, that women have achieved anything by expression themselves
using art, I must say: YES! We haven’t changed as many laws as we should, we
haven’t stopped women violence nor have changed the mind of abusive men but
hey! How many sleeping consciences have we awakened? How many women have been
saved? How many deaf hears have we unclogged ever since we all began screaming
louder? We have made a difference in the world, and I mean all female movement
around the globe making pressure to make this change occur. Yes, we have opened
our eyes. Yes, we have regained self-esteem, respect and we have moved some
important walls and yes, there is much more we can and will achieve if we remain
united raising our voices.
WA: IN WHAT WAY IS THE WOMEN POETS INTERNATIONAL
MOVEMENT CONTRIBUTING TO THE GROWTH OF WOMEN DEVELOPMENT IN AFRICA?
JU: The same
way we have done for women in every country we take our mission: this is an
opportunity! We open an international door through collective projects but it’s
up to women to cross. Woman Scream is just a platform, it is just the base that
seeks to make them strong enough to raise their voices. There are many other
resources out there for women to further advance, what happens later and what
they do with the support given, it’s up to them.
WA: AS A FOUNDER AND PROMOTER OF
WOMAN ART ACTIVISM, WHAT KINDS OF OBSTACLES DO YOU FACE?
JU: A lot.
You might think it is monetary, as this cause is only sustained by volunteer’s
love but no. It is the tendency to sabotage and the lack of moral support that
should not exist in such a beautiful art world. Sadly, many of these obstacles
are imposed by women themselves, those we seek to reach. We do this to add a
little more to the feminist fight around the world, to open a space in art for
women of talent to grown, to be known however, we’ve encountered women sabotage
each other sometimes, diminishing their own sisters, who only want to build
their own path to shine. How can we grow, seek for equality and change, if we
dig a hole for other women to fall as we walk the freedom path?
Sometimes, we find more support in
men that are part of our cause and more resistance among our own womankind.
It’s sad! That behavior only draws all female movements advances back.
Tour to Mirabal's Sisters homeland. Salcedo DR (2015)
WA: WHAT HAS BEEN THE HALLMARK OF
YOUR TENURE AS THE FOUNDER OF THE WOMEN POETS INTERNATIONAL MOVEMENT?
JU: I believe
the use of modern technology into the promotion and growth of our project that
began in the Dominican Republic and spread all over the world thanks to
nowadays tools.
WA: YOU ARE AN EFFECTIVE FEMALE
LEADER. WHAT DRIVES YOU?
JU: I believe
results speak for themselves. I believe if I had inspired any other woman with
my dreams to achieve hers, that makes me
an effective leader. There were only 400 women poets in our database when I
began the Women Poets International Movement, now there are over 10,000
artists, women and men. We were only 200-300 followers in our Spanish fans page
when we began, now there are over 20,000 plus, the thousands of followers in
our festival’s pages. Our festival was only “Grito de Mujer” in Spanish in 201
now, it is translated into English, French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch and
others (Woman Scream, Cri de Femme, Grido di Donna, Grito de Mulher, Schrei Der
Frau, etc.,).
Not everything is about how much you
make but about how much difference you can make with what you do, how many others
you can inspire. What are you doing to be the change you wish to see in the
world?
WA: WHAT MESSAGE WOULD YOU GIVE TO
YOUNGER WOMEN AND GIRLS?
JU: We have
had many events throughout the years focusing on young women and girls. They
always have been my favorites. As I have been called to share my poetry for
girls on poor communities, my message to them has always been the same:
“Study and learn. Do not depend on a
man to call you a princess nor to build a castle for you. Build your own
castle, be your own queen. Don’t wait for no one to show you you’re valuable,
you’re pretty and should know your own worth. We, as women have a harder job in
this society, we need to be the example for those who will come after us, may
our lives serve as an example of strength and courage, may others see you as
the girl who conquers now, the woman she will become.”
WA: AS SOMEONE WHO
HAS SUCCESSFULLY COMBINED FAMILY LIFE AND CAREER ADVANCEMENT, WHAT ARE THE KEY
LESSONS YOU HAVE LEARNED?
JU: -I have learned that nothing is
easy: Even to convince your family that
what you’re doing benefits them too it's hard to achieve. I did and do my part
to predicate my example of courage and fight in spite of rough times.
-Nothing comes for granted: I have fought hard to conquer everything I have set as a
goal for me and still wonder what’s next for me.
-Never stop and never remove your
eyes from your goal: No matter how cloudy the sky might
seem, stars are there, no matter if you can’t see them.
-Love yourself: Never stop believing.
Woman Scream 2020, New York (10th Anniversary)
WA: WHAT DOES THE WORD FEMINIST MEAN
TO YOU?
JU: It is
just a word. I’m a womanist, I believe in the fight for our rights as women and
I believe no word should define who we are but women. Some words are vandalized
by the minds of those who seek to put us down, those who think we haven’t
earned our place so far. I am a woman, I guess I’m more drawn to that word.
WA: WHAT IN YOUR LIFE HAS BROUGHT OR
GIVEN YOU THE GREATEST SATISFACTION OR FULFILLMENT?
JU: Knowing
that I’ve achieved most everything I wanted in life and conquered old fears.
Being proud of being me!
WA: LOOKING BACK, WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE DONE
DIFFERENTLY? WHAT WOULD YOU DO AGAIN?
JU: I would
have stopped worrying for unimportant things, paying less attention to those
who tried to stop me and at that, at some point threatened to stop me from
advancing in my goals.
If I have to sacrifice myself to
build what I’ve built, like I’ve done all these years, I would have done it
again!,
WA: WHO ARE YOUR FAVORITE CULTURAL
HEROINES? WHAT APPEALS TO YOU ABOUT THEM?
JU: Any feminine figure that throughout
history has conquered a better place for us women, is my favorite heroine. I
believe the role in society of all of them has been key to reach the spot in
which we are now. It is hard to pick a side!

Resumen
Machous es un cortometraje cómico que a través del humor plantea los micromachismos que aún se viven en la sociedad de manera cotidiana. Los jóvenes, creyendo que han superado el machismo rancio de sus padres y abuelos, aún no son conscientes de los pensamientos y actitudes que permanecen en ellos de manera inconsciente.
Pero también muestra como en un grupo se ejerce presión para mantener los roles de poder y de macho alfa. Desde el humor y la conciencia, defendemos a los jóvenes que muestran su punto de vista ante estos comportamientos y se enfrentan al líder del grupo.

Descripción / Resume
Eva, a young woman from Lima, Perú, is dominated by her boyfriend, Sebastián, who is a violent male chauvinist. When he makes an immoral proposition, she reflects on their relationship letting go more by her impulses rather than her reasoning.
Written by two women, the hope of the film is to raise awareness about the subtle, often overlooked or mistaken for passion, mental and physical abuse in love relationships. It is our hope that women’s organizations that tackle similar issues women face every day will see our film and be inspired to let others know there is a way out.
This is a story of the cycle of abuse, of how a woman will go back because she sees a love no one else understands. We want to convey how a woman like Stella can find her inner wolf again and truly break free- that love can have fire but not burn us. We must not forget Aron either, and seek understanding for him and those like him, the abusers, who are as much in search of that love as those they are violent towards.

During the first three weeks of covid-19 lockdown (23rd March - 11th April) women across the U.K. and around the world were being murdered and beaten at an unprecedented rate. In England and Wales alone 14 women and 2 children were murdered*. These figures do not include transwomen.
Three weeks in lockdown is a project documenting murdered women over a 3 week period. As the stories of the murdered women and children faded in the media I felt the need to mark the locations across the country, where the murders took place. In each location I used either chalk or charcoal since they would wash away over time, mirroring how the murdered women will fade from our memories and be quickly forgotten.
Accionar desde el cuerpo y la voz. Accionar para hacer visible y hacer frente a las violencias que vivimos como mujeres, en la Puna, y en todo el mundo. Accionar desde el encuentro, la ronda. Recuperando el canto de la copla, grito de nuestras ancestras. Cantos morados, cantos copleados, cantos de memoria, cantos de justicia. Por todas las hermanas que nos robaron y que se convirtieron en mariposas.
“Five Graceful Shifts” is a window into the life of Latesa Williamson, a Dayton poet, spoken word artist, author and advocate for youth who uses the stage name, A. Slate. A warrior, a fighter, a woman. A featured presentation for the Woman Scream Festival 2021: “Women Warriors, violence is not in quarantine”.
Five Graceful Shifts is a poetic film that reveals the face behind the masks that we wear to hide mental illness, childhood trauma, and the fact that everyone has a breaking point. Even so; when we are equipped with the proper tools we can open windows that invoke change and a renewed mindset. It takes a village, yet starts with an army of one. Life is a poem...everyone is writing.
“In this one-woman film, I am inviting you into the worlds I have created for myself as a single mother suffering with mental illness,”.

Five Graceful Shifts es una película poética que revela el rostro detrás de las máscaras que usamos para ocultar enfermedades mentales, traumas infantiles y el hecho de que todas tenemos un punto de ruptura. Aun así; cuando estamos equipadas con las herramientas adecuadas, podemos abrir ventanas que invocan el cambio y una mentalidad renovada. Se necesita primero una aldea, para construir un ejército. La vida es un poema que todas escribimos.
"Esta es una película de una sola mujer, te invito a los mundos que he creado para mí, como madre soltera que sufre una enfermedad mental." A. Slate.
