La Lucha Libre Archiv – We spent the daytime interviewing people in the street about their experiences and concepts regarding “lucha libre” (mexican wrestling) and receiving objects from them to enrich our archive. During the night, inside GyB ByG Satellite space, we reviewed the interviews to extract significant concepts and we started a sorting of the objects we have collected until now.

6 hrs de trabajo de escritorio siguiendo el proceso del Proyecto Xolopantli que tuvo su fase de taller en Plaza Roldán en el marco de la celebración del Día de Muertos el pasado mes de noviembre. Trabajamos sobre los contenidos de la versión digital que es el precedente de un libro físico, producto final del proyecto.

Ha sido una grata experiencia la de crear un espacio tan acotado en tiempo e infraestructura física, aun así… abrimos nos dimos la oportunidad de abrir nuestras posibilidades de interacción y después de 10 años que tenemos de trabajo, este día fue el inicio de T+T en línea.

For my Many Mini Residency I gave a printing workshop for children of the local community. It was interesting to work in a residential area and having to adapt to a different situation. Honoring the name of the residency we put up a “mini” exhibition for a couple of hours.
Para las Muchas Mini Residencias, impartí un taller de grabado para los niños de la comunidad. Fue muy interesante trabajar en una zona residencial y adaptarse a una situacion diferente. En honor a el nombre de la residencia, pusimos una “mini” exposición por un par de horas.

TOMAR 1 CÁPSULA C/12 HRS. SÓLO EN CASO DE DOLOR INTENSO
Acción / Intervención – María Rodríguez Cruz

“Tomar 1 cápsula c/12 hrs., sólo en caso de dolor intenso”, consistió en instalar un cuarto de enfermo y trasladar a la paciente a este espacio para su recuperación, con la intención de transformar la recuperación en un proceso compartido desde una plataforma pública. Siguiendo la receta médica, “Tomar 1 cápsula cada 12 horas sólo en caso de dolor intenso”, en el lapso de 12 hrs, la artista-paciente realizó sus terapia y recibió visitas de amigos y familiares, quienes dejaron mensajes para su pronta recuperación mediante una libreta.

On Friday 26 September 2014, dozens of students from the rural school “Raúl Isidro Burgos” of Ayotzinapa (Guerrero, Mexico) went to Iguala to hold a protest against what they considered to be discriminatory hiring and funding practices by the Mexican government that is considered to be discriminating against teachers from rural areas. During the journey they have been intercepted by local police. A conflict broke out and by the end of the night, 6 people, 3 of which were students, had been shot dead, 17 have been wounded and 43 students went missing while they were in custody of Iguala’s police and they where allegedly been handed over to the criminal group Guerreros Unidos and presumably killed. Early the next morning a student’s body was later found with his face skinned and his eyes gouged out.

Founded in 1926 to offer children of farm workers access to education, the rural school “Raúl Isidro Burgos” where the 43 missing students are studying for becoming teachers is an iconic school for elementary rural teachers in Ayotzinapa (Guerrero, Mexico). The school and its students are well known for their activism and for being a bastion of the leftist ideology of the Mexican Revolution in the early 20th century.

They are the most promising pupils of their communities and out of 600 who requested to be admitted in the school, only 140 were accepted, including the 43 that are now missing.
The generation of the first year had 140 pupils.
140 – 43 missing = 97
97 – 3 dead = 94
94 – 2 serious injured in hospitals =92

Of this 92 students more then 67 have already moved back with their families and they will probably never go back to that school.
This events and numbers have been the focus of my recent exhibition in New York, an exhibition about the lack of social justice and the gross human right violations in Mexico that have now been bought to the forefront and world wide. On the night of Sunday December 6 2014, on the closing day of my show, forensic experts confirmed that charred remains found in a river near Iguala were those of one of the disappeared students, Alexander Mora. So now
140 – 42 missing = 98
98 – 4 dead = 94
94 – 2 serious injured in hospitals = 92

After this last event, I’ve decided to keep working specifically on the Ayotzinapa’s case for my 12 hours Mini Many Residency in Mexico City. I’ve spent half part of the day talking on Skype with Sarrita and Ryan about social justice and the over-militarization of local police departments, both in Mexico and the US. We have been analyzing the role of street protests and demonstrations and the different way they can be organized, as well as the role that direct action and activism can play in this framework. We then talked about human rights violations in US, UK, India, Israel, Russia and Mexico.

During the second part of the day I’ve been working in my studio at Flux Factory (New York) on a small book project with portraits of the 43 students desaparecidos. I’ve investigate what the word “desaparecido” means, because it’s not just about missing individuals, it involves the State. According to Wikipedia the forced disappearance “occurs when a person is secretly abducted or imprisoned by a State or political organization or by a third party with the authorization, support, or acquiescence of a State or political organization, followed by a refusal to acknowledge the person’s fate and whereabouts, with the intent of placing the victim outside the protection of the law.” Another interesting definition of the word is coming from the Oxford dictionary that states that it refers to “(Especially in South America), a person who has disappeared, presumed killed by members of the armed services or the police”). Key words in this framework are State, political organization, armed services and the police. As far as I’m concern all this words involve serving a specific community by respecting and protecting human dignity and maintain and uphold the human rights of all persons. Is that what it’s happening? No. This words become a problem just in societies that are so judgmental, racist and corrupt that don’t have respect for human rights anymore. That’s why people both in the US and in Mexico should stand up for human rights. That’s why #Ayotzinapasomostodos. Because this are global problems and everyone should feel legitimate to stand up against such horrible violations.

During my hour at Many Mini Residency I got the chance to exore new spaces, and collect new visuals and inspiration for my drawings which will then become embroideries for my pieces.  I gathered images on my way to the residency, on my time spent there and on my way home.  I will continue working on my drawings till I  get to a single image which integrates my whole experience.
