Intersectionality, Brain and Sensory Differences
Our resources explore lived experiences of individuals and their intersectional neurodistinctions
What is Intersectionality?
Intersectionality: The interconnected nature of social categorizations such as race, class, and gender as they apply to a given individual or group, regarded as creating overlapping and interdependent systems of discrimination or disadvantage.
The term 'intersectionality' has its roots in Black feminist activism, and was originally coined by American critical legal race scholar Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw in 1989.

Afrowalkers: antiracist sensory cartography
Joy Helena González-Güeto
Sensory cartography is a mediation tool that incorporates sensory information into maps, expanding the universe of understanding of social phenomena and spaces. Afrowalkers’ project uses this methodology to structure, stimulate and innovate the mediation process. At the same time, it allows us to make the project visible in the city and activates memory and embodied listening. This cartographic mediation process aims to:
highlight the link between emotions, racialized bodily sensations and places in the city and,
consolidate collective proposals for the transformation of the peripheral neighbourhoods of Madrid into a comfortable, pleasant and safe space for the Afro-descendant, African and Black people who inhabit it.
