#Ayotzinapa

The actions that are part of #Ayotzinapa were produced mainly in Helsinki, Finland between 11.2014 y 11.2015 in relation to the enforced disappearance of Ayotzinapa’s 43 rural students in Iguala, México on the 26-27th of September 2014. #Ayotzinapa starts out of a collective and personal need to stand against official versions and the circuits of silence that were built around an event of that magnitude. Throughout one year of work, the actions were comforted with issues related to their context, language, History, empathy: the character of the research was fluctuating between art, activism and academic research.
The actions were made in public space, festivals, education institutions; in collaboration with activists, academics, artists and grassroots organizations.
This map traces part of my research process for the thesis ASHES, as part of my MA in Live Art and Performance Studies.

Las acciones que forman parte de #Ayotzinapa fueron producidos en su mayoría en Helsinki, Finlandia entre el 11.2014 y 11.2015 en relación a la desaparición forzada de 43 normalistas de Ayotzinapa en Iguala, México el 26-27 de Septiembre 2014. #Ayotzinapa surge a partir de la necesidad colectiva (a la cual tengo acceso por medio de redes sociales) y personales de manifestarse contra las historias oficiales y los circuitos de silencio alrededor de un acontecimiento de tal magnitud. A lo largo del año de trabajo las acciones se enfrentaron con problemáticas de transmisión por limitaciones propias del contexto, el lenguaje, la historia, la empatía; su carácter fluctúa entre el arte, activismo e investigación académica.
Las acciones se realizaron en espacio público, festivales de arte, instituciones educativas, galerías; en colaboración con activistas, académicos, artistas y organizaciones ciudadanas.
Este mapa muestra parte de mi proceso de investigación para el proyecto de tesis ASHES en la maestría en Live Art and Performance Studies.
