“This house no longer exists”: Counter-archives for a crumble memory.

It's a timeless research towards my family history, it investigates the internal displacement by violence of my family, identity traits, afrodecendence, reappropriated archive to answer questions of inconsistencies from the imaginaries of identification.

My great-grandmother was an Afro-Mexican woman, when she passed away she asked to be buried with a pillow full of her own hair. Recognizing that my ancestry comes from an Afro-descendant is a political act that must be acknowledged, it was until 2020 INEGI recognized the afro-descendant population in its census.

This project is a timeless investigation of my family history, inquiring into the internal displacement of my family due to violence (understood as a micro-migration), as well as the identity traits of afro-decendence and indigenism that existed and have now been lost due to the process of miscegenation in Mexico, studying the present through curators of memory, art-object, family album archive, contemporary documentary, fictionalized autohistory, this resourses activate new singularities and spaces of meaning, questioning the hegemonic narratives to answer these questions of inconsistencies from the imaginaries of identification.
