III Congreso Internacional de Estudios Literarios y Culturales Afrodescendientes at the University of Alcalá de Henares

In her presentation, Ximena explored how websites coordinated by afrohispanic women as afroféminas.com (@afrofeminas) and afrochingonas.com (@afrochingonas) serve as digital spaces of resistance. She analyzed how these blogs use multimodal tools to reclaim the representation of Black women and foster a sense of community across the Afro-Hispanic diaspora.

Julia organized a roundtable discussion with Lucía Mbomío (@luciambomio) and Helen Digala (@dark_.woman). They talked about Lucía’s latest novel “Tierra de la Luz” and the exploitation of migrants in Spain’s agricultural sector. In this context, they discussed the importance of networks of solidarity among African women in Spain and the impact of antiracist digital activism.

In another panel, Julia had the opportunity to present the book: ‘Personas africanas y afrodescendientes en España ayer y hoy. Proyecciones y posicionamientos en la literatura, el arte y los medios’ (Borst / Gallo González 2024) https://www.degruyterbrill.com/document/doi/10.1515/9783111188232/html.
