| description | This writing reflects a set of paintings created for an exhibition in June of 2016 in Barcelona. The series was titled “Face cartographies” and was composed by eleven paintings that crisscrossed the faces of the artist with other women. In addition, on each painting layed a map who was performed by the artist with the woman portrayed, where both mapped their links in the portrait to name their symbolic realities. From these works, the author makes a tour explaining how the series originated, what experiences and referents lead her to take elements of cartography and feminism for these creations. Through this work we speak about an artistic practice that seeks mediation because it puts in the center the relationship with other women, to make visible the links between them as political practices that move in the field of arts. It reflects on how new images created in feminist artistic practices can challenge traditional ideas of portraiture and well, the sense of lived as women. |
