Femicide in Mexico and the art that fights oblivion

Abstract

Faced with a system that produces and normalizes several kinds of violence against women, art has acquired a special importance as a powerful tool of denouncement and an essential element that allows to make visible that which the State has kept in the shadows: the thousands of unresolved cases of feminicides and forced disapperances throughout Mexico. Considering this bleak reality, which has made us women question the very limits of our freedom, a series of artists who have taken on the challenge of giving a shape to the unseen to generate a space where those who were silenced have one last chance to raise their voices, and generating an echo that will linger and resonate through time and memory.
