Muy Personal Textil book (Textil Sculpture)
2024
“In a contestatory and artistic incursion into the case of forced sterilizations in Peru, the textile piece is a critical exploration of its legacy. Through a compiling narrative, it unravels the discourse that justified these practices in the name of the fight against poverty, thus sacrificing women's fundamental rights, autonomy and health. It highlights the lack of consent and the coercive pressures imposed on them. The chapters of this textile book ask hard-hitting questions: who are these women, where are they, where are they? The underlying social and cultural complexities are unveiled, as well as their persistent and profound impact on the community. While aiming to challenge hegemonic narratives and highlight silenced voices, fostering a space for critical reflection and commitment to memory and justice.”
