Sobre una mujer (About a Woman), through the eyes of artists of the Americas
On women, it is not possible to generalize or extrapolate. Each individuality means that when talking about this group, we refer to a set of stories, one by one.
Women are not a compact and homogeneous identity block. There are different ages, different territories, various economic realities. We choose, those that we have the privilege of being able to, different ways of life. Each experience is unique, and stirs feelings, beliefs, values and ideas within us, which we sometimes share, and oftentimes do not.
This sample does not seek to be a representation of women as a gender, but to barely scratch the surface of its edges, underlined in depth by these artists. Among the recurring themes, explicit or implicit, are social or family violence, physical or moral harassment, exhaustion in the face of everyday injustice, and personal struggles and conquests.
The images allow reflection on the dichotomy between ferocity and vulnerability, motherhood, the appearance of machinery before simultaneous vertiginous tasks, links with the objects of domestic spaces, bodily changes, and abortion.
The route challenges us about the social penetration of inherited mandates. These generate submission and, in contrast, rebellion, bringing the possibility of reconstruction of their own language as an exit route.
However, there is one, and only one, generalization that is possible and verifiable. Women are the only majority that even today, in the 21st century, still face great discrimination.
