We, the women, with our rights being trampled upon, our freedoms questioned and our physical integrity always threatened, have inspired \u201cLook Before You Cross\u201d,<\/strong> an intervention where we have tried to visualize our dismay before the physical and mental violence exercised against us whose sole purpose is controlling our bodies, our minds and every single aspect of our lives.<\/p>\n

The scenarios of this violence are quite diverse. In our more or less \u201ccivilized\u201d milieu, we are fighting to achieve equality and respect, and to end domestic gender violence. However, the largest population of young women is concentrated in developing countries and have to cohabit with laws aimed at reducing their social role to reproduction, not to mention the countries at war or with displaced groups where women\u2019s bodies are used or violated to carry out massive acts of revenge or humiliation.<\/p>\n

Bearing all this in mind, we hit the streets loaded with 25 inflatable dolls recycled from another piece we carried out back in 2014 (things have improved little since then). On this occasion, we put them in large bags with lights, their hands tied and their mouths sealed.<\/p>\n

We searched for pedestrian crossings at dangerous spots for women where we could represent our scenes. The first one, created for the occasion, was installed in front of the Ministry of Justice. The law is made there in apparent equality though this is not so in real practice.<\/p>\n

We found the second and third crossings at Parque del Oeste, a dangerous area when night falls and where there is a lot of prostitution<\/p>\n

Many thanks to Monta\u00f1a, Marilena and Alex who helped us with the assembly and installation as usual, and to\u00a0Melisa Hern\u00e1ndez <\/strong><\/a>for her excellent photographic work.<\/p>\n

There is much work to be done and as many ways to do it as there are people and circumstances. Our own skills, common sense and sensitiveness will show us what is the right way for each and everyone of us. Big movements are, no doubt, much needed but every little gesture adds and these will gradually embody a deep lasting change.<\/p>\n

Time of installation: and installation:5 hour.
\nDamages: none.
\nExhibition time: 3 hours.<\/p>\n

Las mujeres, con nuestros derechos pisoteados, nuestras libertades cuestionadas y la integridad f\u00edsica siempre amenazada, nos han inspirado para llevar a cabo \u00abMirar antes de cruzar\u00bb<\/strong> una intervenci\u00f3n en la que intentamos visualizar nuestra des\u00e1nimo ante la violencia f\u00edsica y mental que se ejerce contra nosotras y que tiene como fin el control de nuestro cuerpo, nuestra mente y todos y cada uno de los aspectos de nuestra vida.<\/p>\n

Los escenarios de esta violencia son muy variados, en nuestro entorno, m\u00e1s o menos \u201ccivilizado\u201d, nos movilizamos para alcanzar la igualdad y el respeto, y luchamos por hacer desaparecer la violencia de g\u00e9nero en el entorno dom\u00e9stico. Pero la mayor parte de la poblaci\u00f3n de mujeres j\u00f3venes se concentra en pa\u00edses en v\u00edas de desarrollo, y tienen que convivir con leyes dirigidas a conseguir que su funci\u00f3n social se vea limitada a la meramente reproductiva y familiar, por no hablar de pa\u00edses en conflicto b\u00e9lico o en grupos desplazados, donde el cuerpo de la mujeres es usado y violentado para consumar actos de venganza o de humillaci\u00f3n masivos.<\/p>\n

Con todo esto en la cabeza nos echamos a la calle, cargadas con 25 mu\u00f1ecas hinchables reutilizadas de otra pieza que llevamos a cabo en el 2014, (poco han mejorado las cosas desde entonces), esta vez las metimos en grandes bolsas, iluminadas, maniatadas y con las bocas selladas.<\/p>\n

Buscamos pasos de cebra, en espacios de peligro para la mujer, en los que representar nuestras escenas. El primero, creado para la ocasi\u00f3n, lo instalamos frente al Ministerio de Justicia, ah\u00ed se legisla en aparente igualdad, aunque en la pr\u00e1ctica no sea as\u00ed.<\/p>\n

El segundo y tercer paso los encontramos en el Parque del Oeste, zona peligrosa al caer la noche y llena de prostituci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n

Mil gracias a Monta\u00f1a, Marilena y Alex que, como siempre, estuvieron ayud\u00e1ndonos con el montaje y la instalaci\u00f3n, y a Melisa Hern\u00e1ndez <\/a>que hizo el reportaje fotogr\u00e1fico.<\/p>\n

Queda much\u00edsimo trabajo por hacer y tantas maneras de acometerlo como personas y circunstancias. Las capacidades de cada uno, el sentido com\u00fan y la sensibilidad nos desvelar\u00e1n cu\u00e1l es la m\u00e1s adecuada para cada uno. Grandes movilizaciones son necesarias, de eso no hay duda, la historia lo demuestra, pero cualquier peque\u00f1o gesto suma y son estos los que ir\u00e1n dando cuerpo a un cambio profundo y duradero.<\/p>\n

Tiempo de montaje e instalaci\u00f3n: 5 horas
\nDa\u00f1os ocasionados: 0.
\nPermanencia de la intervenci\u00f3n: 3 horas.<\/em><\/em> <\/em><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
