Susana González Martínez: CovenArt: The didactics of feminist resistance from extreme music.

The term covenant means covenant and a coven is a coven or gathering of witches. In this sense, from extreme music and feminisms, women and queer people are using various strategies of artistic, emotional and political resistance. His modes of creation flow from the artistic to the political and personal naturally, in and through an organism of collective critical consciousness, which I have called banda-coven. These artists generate a physical and symbolic space that is quasi, if not totally, ritualized of communion between women, growth and learning, mutual support, bonding, creativity and spirituality, which articulates various facets of artistic and personal life at the same time. His ways of doing are a platform where creative, healing, critical reflection, political awareness, empowerment and emotional support processes converge. Based on the analysis of their artistic and symbolic strategies and relationships, together with a review of the modus operandi of the feminist art groups of the '70s and' 80s, I formulate the covenArt as a contribution to, and from, feminist pedagogies, to its potential application as a multipurpose tool in education.
