Description

After the feminist art collective LASTESIS created their performance A Rapist in Your Path in their native Chile, it went viral across the globe, becoming the anthem of the grassroots feminist movements in South America and around the world.

Set Fear on Fire is their manifesto, an angry, unrepentant tour-de-force that moves through rage, femicide, abortion, homophobia, feminist art, and the oppression of the state to argue for a feminist world based on collective struggle and a visionary political art.

Translated by Camila Valle.
