I do not like resumes, are always to sell better. So I prefer to tell a more personal and more literary history of who am I, what have I done and what I do.I was born 4mil feet high, hugging my mother and the Andes. As a mark of my life pilgrimage, I spent my childhood traveling between Chile and Bolivia as my mother and my father are Chilean and Bolivian. When I was in Bolivia was "the Chilean" and children bothered me to return them to sea. When I was in Chile was "bolivianita, lovey" that wanted to take the waters of the Lauca, I also said "the lauquita". There was born my condition and my deep transhumant critical to all patriotism and nationalism that would later form concepetual and early access to my feminist ideas; issue that has marked my making photo / graphic.At age 8, I went with my mother to live to Chile. For ideological and ethical family heritage, I participated early in the causes of social justice which meant the persecution of the dictatorship of Augusto Pinochet in Chile and then the prison of dictator Hugo Banzer in Bolivia. At 27 I went exiled to Mexico. Mexico became my container and my reference space. Shortly afterward, gave me a piece of land where my mother was buried.Always linked to art and social reflection, studied architecture in Chile, theater in Bolivia, and did a master's degree in urban sociology and many photography courses in Mexico. I worked several years as a university professor of architectural history and art history.How a woman in a patriarchal macro culture is not an indifferent figure, feminism came early in my life and filled it with new eyes, new thoughts and new hot spots that make me think and go through life and my creativity. So this is a site that covers both my creative visual production as feminist reflection.I formed a feminist center in Mexico, I was the director of a magazine critical of feminist thought and took 20 quarterly issues (feminist Belt) and the director of the first feminist reflection multimedia site on the Internet: "Feminist Creativity," which will me a self-taught Web design and realization. Feminist Creativity was in line for 11 years on from and with my enthusiasm and kept in my pocket, had more than 60 thousand visitors a month. Cybernetics was the face of radical feminism and critical of America and a major space power to the whole radical and autonomous movement allowed him to take his thoughts and looks at many sides. One day I forgot the date to renew the domain - and as it was a very visited, someone else bought it right away - I realized I did not want to fight for that domain, I was tired of doing and closed that stage to do something more personal.

Yescka
Urban artist from Oaxaca, started to paint in the streets at the age of 15 years. Afterwards he studied in the Fine Arts School where he started to combine urban with academic perspectives.
In 2006, year of big manifestations and sociopolitical movements in his natal state, he and other artists documented through urban art the violence that happened in Oaxaca. They founded the ASARO collective, Revolutionary Artists Assembly of Oaxaca. With this collective they start to reformulate art creating political responses through the integration of society and urban art. What they wanted was to stop the cultural hegemony of galleries by exhibiting art in the streets.
For him, his work is both an expression idea and an information source. Between provocation and debate, the streets are the principal gallery for Yescka, an artistic forum to set the dialogue with those excluded from society.
Xilography and stencil are his main artistic techniques.
He has presented his work in Mexico, the United States, Germany and Australia.

I was born in Puebla in the year 85, some months after the earthquake of 8.1 degrees on Richter scale shook the big monster city. A year later, Maradona scored a historic goal against England and lift the cup that would position it as the best player ever in the same year I was baptized as a Catholic, Apostolic and Roman (of course without my authorization). In 88 Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas decline from the PRI and wins the election and take the PRI out of government (strange but true), the results are not respected and a famous poblano chief announces the fall of the electoral system.
Socialism fell on November 18, 1989 and with it the horizon of desire that motivated a fraction of the world, a crazy man assure that history had come to an end, a few years after the EZLN recovers utopia giving a shout protest under a colonial discourse, the story was not finished just starting the second volume. In that year Brazil won the World Cup against Italy on penalties in a historic duel between Taffarel and Gianluca Pagliuca, Mexico was eliminated by Bulgaria in a game where 100 thousand people shout HUGO, HUGO...The year was 1999, people talked about the end of the world (2012 now do the same) that year I finished my primary and my grandmother die of an earthquake of 6.7 magnitude on Richter scale, a few months after my dog died. The PRI went out of the pines, leaving in place the Latin America chief of Coca Cola.In 2004 begin to participate in social movements trosko group, rejected the motion of that year my first encounter with the social movements.In 2005 I start to study a degree in economics, also participated in support groups Obrador.In 2006 I know the other, Oaxaca and the resistance movement generated in the APPO are indications of a different organization which I could not understand until years later, also clear that continued participation in the peje campaign.In 2007 started working to prophetic, time to staff training. Also change of degree, political science the way, the cause, asking that is power.In 2008 the most significant was the meeting with the picture, the rest proceeded normally.In 2009 conducted an exchange with the Universidad Mayor de San Andres in La Paz, Bolivia one month later I traveled to Buenos Aires for the meeting of the Latin American Sociology Association (ALAS) where I know the speech of Knowledge and Colonidad Power. Return to Bolivia, I began to meet other thoughts, other horizons, other ways of seeing the world and the December 26 I began a journey to Peru.In 2010 I found a catharsis, a way through the mountains of Cusco, which ended in Machu Pichu, was born love for photography. The road ends in Lima city in which conducted an interview with Maestro Anibal Quijano, I continue my way to Buenos Aires for exchange at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) but before that I went to Uruguay to enjoy a rich carnival and an interview with Raul Zibechi. Back in Buenos Aires I look closely at the marginalization of peripheral urban air resistance and support for indigenous groups, I am invited by Juan Davila to act in the short film "Window Interior" also took a course with Maestro Luis Tapia in the Doctorate Gino Germani. I finish my exchange and not return to Mexico without knowing the Potosi mines at Cerro Rico de Potosi. In December start selling photography in the street revezar justifying the need for institutionalized spaces and return to the streets and its people what it is. The catharsis comes to an end.
