Theory-based perspective on understanding how oppressions in patriarchal society manifest themselves beyond gender inequalities since they also permeate social class and ethnicity, among others. Through the viewpoint of intersectional feminism, we analyse how these multiple aspects relate to each other and interfere in women's lives. The prism of intersectional feminism is also used as a theoretical-methodological tool in feminist movements as a resource for the analysis of socio-cultural structures such as the lack or presence of privileges, the dismantling of mechanisms based on structural machismo and the construction of egalitarian public policies of access to human rights.

Abstract
The chapter is dedicated to demonstrating artivist aesthetic discourses produced in converging relations between urban space, street art, intersectional feminism (gender, class, ethnicity), and digital technologies in a post-pandemic context. The research results derived from three stages: a survey of state-of-the-art study on relations between street art, feminist artivism, and digital media art; production and application of autoethnographic data in the creation of digital artistic artefact; and curatorship of video-installation. The analysis focuses on the case study of the post-digital art artefact Make me up! an immersive and cyberperformative experience that connects augmented reality (AR) technology, street art, Instagrammism and Selfiecity. The digital artefact Make me up! was launched during the “10th International Conference on Digital and Interactive Arts - ARTECH 2021: Hybrid Praxis: Art, Sustainability & Technology” in the historical city of Aveiro, Portugal, also known as the “Portuguese Venice.”
