May my pain reside in your body: women, art and forced disappearance in Mexico
Abstract
This article analyzes the projects of two women artists who work with collectives of searching mothers in Mexico. Throughout their work, emotional communities have originated from the daily accompaniment, while producing works, where the individual and social body is used to communicate and activate different affections in the public space. This has made it possible to blur the boundaries in the field of art, life, activism and emotions as a result of the involvement and joint struggle of women. Therefore, the purpose of this article, on the one hand, is to document and recognize some of the collaborative artistic practices carried out by women during the second decade of the 21st century in Mexico; and on the other, to confirm that this artistic work builds new social fabrics that are the result of sharing affects around the pain and justice from different sectors of society.
