Free City Radio 86.

Listen to an interview with Mexico City based artist and activist CERRUCHA who speaks on her involvement in the Feminist movement in Mexico and the relationship between social movements and the arts today in Mexico. @cerrucha currently has pieces up at Laboratorio Arte Alameda and Museo de Arte Moderno in CDMX.

CERRUCHA describes herself this way

"CERRUCHA: this word comes from the latin cer “to be”, cerrucha “a saw” f.; a hand tool that uses art to deconstruct mindframes; toothed blade that subversively talks to your senses: CERRUCHA, present tense of the verb cerruchar – to saw through fixed ideals promoting a critical analysis about our surroundings, an invitation to see yourself in the other. I´m a feminist artivist working primarily with photography, performance, installation and dialogic art. I intervene public space by creating experiences that foster engagement and dialogue where the audience can become active in cultural production.

Through the incorporation of participatory practices into my projects I have become a facilitator, taking human relations as a point of departure to explore the social construct of Otherness and it's intersectionality with gender, race, class and decoloniality through a collective approach."
