Brainstorm Week 10

The Ovarian Psycos movie illustrated a powerful movement of women standing up for years of oppression that created a safe space for those in need. By creating and owning this unique space, they open up conversations and hope for a better future where movements such as this are normalized and accepted by society. Because members of this community can find "convivencia" in the partnership and embrace of this space, they are able to open more dialogues of change and celebrate their similarities and differences. Cycling serves as an important resilience practice for these women because it enables them to find their own strength and the strength of their community. Reclaiming cycling in their own unique way serves as an important progression of society to normalize and renew women's roles in the world. 

This group is just one group that utilizes Chicana feminist practices of resiliency and convivencia to create a stronger movement towards equality and recognition. Moreover, these women represent Chicanafuturism because they want to use feminist practices to create a better future for themselves and for all of society. The Chicas Rockeras Group is also a group that supports Chicanafuturism because they serve to empower women through the use of rock music and self-exploration. They push women in their community to find self-empowerment and a greater self esteem.
