Audre Lorde was born in Harlem, New York, United States, in 1934, into an Afro-Caribbean family and died in 1992, in the U.S. Virgin Islands, after many years of fighting cancer. She was a poet, essayist and earned a master's degree in library science from Columbia University in 1961.
The aftermath of the Great Depression of 1929 marked her childhood and adolescence as did World War II and the rise of McCarthyism during the 1950s. While attending high school and university, she had to work to support herself. These facts of her life lead her to define herself as "a feminist, black and lesbian poet warrior".
Audre Lorde was critical of the feminist movements of the 1960s for considering that they focused only on the experiences of white middle-class women, as a normative reproducing the patriarchal model. She proposed, then, to think of the category of 'woman' as a space where it is possible to find numerous subdivisions that determine the female experience, including that of black women and lesbians.
She wrote to empower her readers from categories marginalized by capitalism, racism and heterosexism, as can be seen, for example, in her work Sister Outsider.
She published eleven collections of poems during her lifetime. The first of these are "The First Cities" and "Cables to Hate", both focused on her anger against sexism and racism.
Her poetry, as María Laura Cucinotta rightly tells us, became a favorable vehicle for the expression not only of her experience as a woman, mother, black, feminist and lesbian but also to demonstrate that the notion of difference should not provoke fear but, quite the contrary, constitute a creative force aimed at social change.
“The erotic functions for me in several ways, and the first is in providing the power which comes from sharing deeply any pursuit with another person. The sharing of joy, whether physical, emotional, psychic, or intellectual, forms a bridge between the sharers which can be the basis for understanding much of what is not shared between them, and lessens the threat of their difference”.

"For me, the erotic acts in several ways and the first is by providing the power that comes from the experience of deeply sharing any activity with another person. The sharing of enjoyment, whether physical, emotional, spiritual or intellectual, creates a bridge between people that can be the basis for better understanding that which is not shared and lessening the sense of threat caused by differences."
Audre Lorde was also one of the founders of the group "The Kitchen Table" in 1980. That publishing group was the first in the world to publish books intended to promote writing by women of all racial/ethnic backgrounds, ages, socioeconomic classes and sexual orientations without having to publish in separate sections from the rest of the literature. The goal of the imprint was to reach the full range of communities.
In 1997 he published "The Cancer Diaries." Years earlier she had undergone a mastectomy but then the cancer spread to her liver. Through it all, Lorde refused to be a victim of the disease and considered herself and other women like her to be warriors. Her final battle with the disease shapes the collection of essays "An Explosion of Light", there she explores with exquisite self-esteem and strength, our inner experience as individuals in the face of death.
Born in 1977, she lives in Geneva. Trained as a photographer, after a master's degree in arts in public space, she became interested in the living arts (performance, dance, theater). She is currently dedicated to writing and staging.
She was born in Buenos Aires in 1963, the city where she currently lives. She has been trained in visual arts and theater. Graduated from the School of Fine Arts, she has had exhibitions in Buenos Aires, Holland and Germany. In theater, she trained with Ricardo Bartís, Vivi Tellas and Rubén Schumacher.
As an actress, directed by Rafael Spregelburd, she performed in: Remanente de invierno; Raspando la cruz; La modestia, La estupidez, Bizarra, Buenos Aires, La paranoia, Todo, Tres finales, La terquedad. She also performed, among other plays, in: Lunes abierto and Para partir, by Ignacio Sánchez Mestre; ¿Adónde van los corazones rotos? by Cynthia Edul; Doberman, Turma and Reinas Abolladas by Azul Lombardía ; Los arrepentidos and La materia oscura, directed by Daniel Veronese. She took part in international festivals and theaters: Otoño en Madrid, Festival de Río-Cena (Brazil), Mayo teatral (Cuba) Festival Santiago a mil (Chile), Festival Iberoamericano (Bogotá), Teatro Helénico de México, Chapter Theatre de Cardiff, Sala Becket de Barcelona,etc.
