Latin American countries share different cultural issues and a traumatic historic past centuries. Within the context of political repression and men and women human rights violations, the performance started to be performed as a tool for repudiating military dictatorship that ruled the most of these countries, and as an activist instrument of popular sensitization, considered as a resistance strategy to make visible those silent traumas. From late century XX, women artists, such as Chilean Janet Toro, Mexican Lorena Wolffer, Teresa Serrano and the "Colectivo Malaleche", Guatemalan Regina José Galindo o Peruvian Natalia Iguiñiz, from the feminism, have faced the patriarchal policy that has marked their bodies and limited their personal way of life, appropriating and subverting masculine silent. All of them have developed a political and compromised art, as an example of resistance and fight to take into reality that kept hidden, then, ruled from patriarchic society. Their bodies have become knowledge and visibilization gadgets to denounce tortures in dictatorial ages and the feminicide as a state crime, not only in pace years but also in war ones ruled by patriarchic society. Thus, their artistic work has fitted not only with their national problems, but also with a whole age. Far away from a patriarchal point of view, all of them have know how to build up a public space where showing the way of healing pain and violence through sanitation. They have rejected to stand still, deciding to show us that hidden through extreme images, shocking society and acquiring political perspectives for supporting women human rights, since they provoke and promoting punctual repercussions. Showing them means to make visible those oppression scenes and places, where women can recognize themselves, furthermore to run out symbolic tools for promoting women to take the power, denouncing suffered violence by themselves and clearing that masculinity that fixes the rules, in order to take part of decisions, because the equality is not an utopia, and the equal partnership of men and woman is a must for reaching it.
