Set Fear on Fire: The Feminist Call That Set the Americas Ablaze

A fiery feminist manifesto from the Chilean performance collective who led the rallying cry for today's mass feminist movement across South America

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. This 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.

LASTESIS is a feminist performance collective from Valparaíso, Chile, whose performance “A Rapist in Your Path” has been performed in over 200 countries around the world and has become an international activist anthem against gender violence and the state.
