About
Fabiola Bazo’s research examines the evolution of gender politics in the history of rock and roll made in Lima, Peru. Fabiola became interested in the politics of gender in the course of writing her book Desborde Subterráneo (Underground Overflow) about the 1980s punk rock scene in Lima. The monograph, published by The Contemporary Art Institute (Lima 2017), is based on extensive primary archival research (Do-It-Yourself recordings, printed publications and videos) and over a hundred interviews. Building on her findings about gender issues in punk rock, Fabiola seeks to identify changes and continuities in the Peruvian rock scene with the analytical tools of intersectionality and anticolonial feminist research methodologies.
