CEDLA at LASA 2026

LASA 2026 will bring scholars from around the world to Paris to reflect on Latin America and the Caribbean in connection with the broader global forces that have shaped our societies over centuries. This year’s call invites conversations that move beyond European colonization alone, engaging as well with the Atlantic revolutions, anticolonial struggles, and the histories that led to the formation of new republics.

We are happy to share that several CEDLA researchers will take part in the congress through panels, workshops, and roundtables addressing topics such as urban memory, violence, extractivism, migration, gender, sexuality, prisons, and social movements in Latin America.

Looking forward to LASA 2026 in Paris.

Bachelor, Master and PhD

CEDLA has promoted Latin American Studies in the Netherlands, Europe and beyond. We do this by conducting and stimulating relevant and original research on developments in Latin America and distributing the results of this research internationally via academic education at BA, MA and PhD levels.

La Resistencia de Pirañas Crew: Women Street Artists’ Struggle to Obtain Gender Equality, Security, and Inclusion

This exhibition is created by photographer Lin Woldendorp and CEDLA PhD candidate Lieke Prins, portrays the feminist street art collective Pirañas Crew from Medellín, Colombia. With her lens, Lin has captured the artists’ resistance, the connections between the women, and their creative expressions in public space. Through intimate portraits of the women in their spaces of resistance, the exposition aims to represent the Pirañas and shed light on their ongoing fight for gender equality and security.
