Colectivo Malvestidas (Poorly Dressed Collective): Critical Practices in Fashion, Clothing, and the Body
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A(R)MADAS (a Spanish pun for beloved and armed) was performed by the Chilean collective entitled Malvestidas on December 19, 2021 in commemoration of the National Day Against Femicide.In Chile, and Latin America in general, over the course of the last two years, the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically exposed gender inequalities and gender-based social emergencies.This is due to the increase in violence against women, children, migrants, and gender-sex dissidents.Prior to the staging of A(R) MADAS, for a few months, the Malvestidas collected used kitchen towels from family members and female friends, with which they made "domestic fighters" clothing with a nod to female samurai warriors.The original state of each kitchen cloth was preserved.The intervention took place in the so-called Plaza de la Dignidad (former Plaza Baquedano), the epicenter of social mobilizations in Chile from the popular revolt of 2019 to date.A(R) MADAS ends with the Malvestidas unifying their skirts to turn them into a large canvas on which they wrote INDOMESTICABLES (UNDOMES-TICABLE)."Indomesticable" in Spanish means something that cannot be tamed.In the context of performance, it also alludes to the domestic as a political space represented by kitchen clothes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
