Memory comprises labyrinthine spaces that contain collective memories. These memories can bring answers to build a new order in the present, making in the future a new way of thinking about human relationships.
Having been able to establish the deaths of women as femicides is because humanity was able to put into words, through the struggle of women, what is not named. The acts committed in the history of humanity, towards us, were of the utmost gravity, in a cultural and institutional context of discrimination and gender violence, accompanied by a series of actions of extreme violence and dehumanizing content, such as torture, mutilation, burns., cruelty and sexual violence against women and girls.
Today all "them" come to mind as images of overwhelming savagery, to begin to clean up so many rivers of blood spilled by their own and others.
Thanks to the ancestral memory of the women who joined in these struggles, we have managed to put between the ropes the absolutism of patriarchy that engulfed us for centuries!
The materiality of this work refers to the ancestral tasks, which have been the legacy as one of the feminine tasks imposed on women, such as sewing clothes and even assembling dolls for girls, these last as an instrument of collaboration and training of children care within the family, It was another of the legacies to women.
Cloths, tulles, and thread, all of red colour, build a large swarm of rag dolls, assembling a rug that sits on a pile of vine branches on a black cloth mat, the same size as the swarm of dolls. The red threads like threads of blood that connect them with the parental affections that have silenced them forever.
