"WE CAN'T BREATHE" is a new performance by Maria Adela Diaz. In it, the artist uses embroidered “ricemasks” to slowly take away her breath, a gesture that denounces the violence done to women through social stereotyping and oppression.

La Revuelta is a feminist collective that names and recognizes its members and other women in cultural, political, and social scenes. Its purpose is to retell history under its own terms and experiences by creating intersectional and decentralized spaces. By using art as a tool, it proposes insurrection as a means to recover the spaces and voices that have been silenced throughout history. We aim to strengthen the social fabric by weaving women back into it as if they were strong, different and colorful threads. Members include: Maya Juracán (Activist and Art Curator), Renata Alvarez (Architect and Art Curator), Jimena Galán Dary (Communicator and Investigator), and Christa Krings (Cultural Manager).
