This study examines how poetry can be understood as intersectional activism. Doing intersectional activism can be expressed in many different forms, and there is also no consensus in Sweden on how the intersectional perspective should be used or handled in academic, political and activist contexts. Based on performativity theory, intersectionality and gagafeminism, this study explores the potential of using artistic strategies such as poetry to deal with feminist intersectional issues in activism.  The study more specifically examine how the poet Yolanda Bohm does intersectional activism in her performance "Icon Medley".
