Women en la Tierra

Everyday life from a female point of view: in the street, in the women-only areas of the metro, in the mountains or during a meeting of women, with the constant presence of the land, as an ally.

In response to the growing culture of violence against women (11 women are killed every day in the country and more than 26.000 are officially missing), women in Mexico began to organize more together, fighting for their lives.

In a process of claiming our existence, I started this photographic project as an ode to women as we are alive, existing, to pay homage to the fact that we too, women, are part of the world, fact that we inhabit the Earth, intrinsically, and this, with an intimate and sensitive gaze, a personal documentary narration and archiving of the lives that ultimately make up the contemporary (hi)story of women in Mexico.

This project therefore shows everyday life from a female point of view: in the street, in the women-only areas of the metro, during a march, in the mountains or during a meeting of women, with the constant presence of the land, as an ally.

It shows the women with whom we exchange winks and laughter, with whom we follow each other closely while walking in the street when it is empty or at night, those who dance, those who fight, those whom we don’t look at those who work with their babies with them, those who migrate, those who take care of you without you realizing it, those who are my friends.
Living is an act of resistance.

These photographs bring together personal analog and digital archives taken between 2015 and 2020, more recent photographs taken for the project, as well as with archives from the Mexican Revolution of 1910.
