En este episodio de Echando Raíces, What Takes Root, en inglés, la actriz y activista chilena Evaluna Valdivieso reflexiona sobre el momento en que entendió que ser artista y ser activista no eran caminos separados, sino el mismo camino. Comparte la historia de su compañía, Teatro La Crisis, y las obras que ha creado en torno a los movimientos feministas, la violencia contra mujeres lesbianas y los impactos desiguales de la crisis climática en el Sur Global.

Evaluna habla también de lo que ella llama la herida latinoamericana, esa marca profunda y persistente que dejaron la colonización, el despojo y la desigualdad, y cómo esa historia atraviesa tanto su arte como su activismo. A través del teatro, explica, se pueden abrir espacios de encuentro, de duelo y de imaginación colectiva para pensar cómo sería habitar una sociedad más justa e igualitaria.

In this episode of What Takes Root, Chilean actress and activist Evaluna Valdivieso describes how she came to see herself as both an artist and an activist. She shares the story of her company, Teatro La Crisis, and the projects she’s created about feminist movements, violence against lesbian women, and the unequal impacts of the climate crisis in the Global South.

Evaluna also speaks about what she calls the Latin American wound, the deep and ongoing impact of colonization, dispossession, and inequality, and how that history shapes both her art and her activism. Through theater, she explains, art can open space for people to connect, to grieve, and to imagine what a more just and equal society could look like.

In medical school, Raviraj Shetty was trained to see bodies as problems to fix. Until he met a 14-year-old client who changed everything. What followed was a shift toward narrative practices that treat people not as diagnoses, but as authors of their own lives. Now, working with indigenous communities, Raviraj uses narrative practices as resistance and protest against structural violence
