Fighting Invisibility: Feminist Performance and Denouncement in Mexico

How can the performing arts act as integral spaces from which to make visible the violence visited upon the female body in Mexico? This project explores the links between artistic interventions and social actions in Mexico through the lens of "artivism," or using art to express political views and shape discourse. The focus is on the last 30 years when a more intense and forceful feminist movement is emerging from invisibility to actively dismantle a violent patriarchal system.
