“#NiUnaMenos”
Group exhibition: "Wrong is not my name. Art against male violence".
LABoral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial, Gijón, Spain
Curator: Semíramis Gónzalez
27/09/2019 to 21/12/2019
#NiUnaMenos is the name given to the call for a mobilisation to stop male violence in Argentina, which took place for the first time on 3 June 2015. The slogan "Not one less woman, not one more death" was coined by Mexican poet and activist Susana Chávez Castillo in the 1990s to denounce the femicides in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. This hashtag has spread around the world, with Spain being one of the countries that has used it in its mobilisations against gender violence.
The artistic installation #NiUnaMenos makes visible, in the form of a three-dimensional diagram, the murders of women committed in Spain as a result of gender violence in 2018. The data allows us to quantify through figures an alarming social scourge that we have not yet been able to eradicate. Every year innocent victims lose their lives, their dreams and their freedom; discriminated against because they are women (feminicide).
The audience is introduced into a diagrammatic cartography, based on truthful data, and constructed through the suspension of a fragile and tense structure, which addresses the vulnerability, fragility and harshness of the female condition.
