Lia Kastiyo Spinósa, Migrazine. Online Magazine by Migrant Women to Everyone

Tonight we’re talking about how anger and care are related. In what ways do we connect our political struggles to better understand the oppression we live in? We talk about migration, colonialism, racism, and capitalism.

That is why it is important to start the year 2023 with those topics because only if we listen, hear, and unite can we change something. My guest tonight is Lia Kastiyo Spinósa.

“My favorite plant knows the things I don’t say, and swallow every morning after hearing the news

getting used to the violencia, the exploitation, the injustice

And still, I say I am not angry,

maybe

only

because

lo peor de lo peor don’t surprise me anymore

But is that even true, sis?”
Part of the poem Where my Anger Goes by Lia Kastiyo-Spinósa, was created in the frame of an artistic project Like Water.
