Working against the tide of exclusionary, official institutional cultures, self-managed infrastructuresinfrastructures built by womenwomen made it possible to amplify feminist voicesvoice in the post-dictatorialpost-dictatorial Spanish StateSpanish state. This chapter explores an alternative feminist genealogy of outstanding collective practices at the intersection of art, political activism, curating, and knowledge production: LaSalLaSal, Barcelona, 1977–90; Erreakzioa-ReacciónErreakzioa-Reacción, Basque Country, 1994–; Eskalera KarakolaEskalera Karakola (EKKA), MadridMadrid, 1996–. Operating from principles of transnational feminist solidarity, transfeminist alliance, commonality, and political antagonism to global capitalism and post-dictatorial repression, they attest to how, beyond the established political and institutional systems, womxn* have collectively catered to their necessities and generated infrastructuresinfrastructures of cultural and political emancipation. Their ambiguous journey into the collection of Museo Reina Sofía, Spain’sSpain largest institution for contemporary art shows how, though partly unacknowledged, their contributions have sponsored current models of curatorial thought.
