Collaborative work
Judith Cardenas, leader of the group, says that in these five years the experience has been enriching and instructive. “Each year has been different, we have been adding other colleagues, getting to know the work of very interesting women, who have forced us from the management or direction to adapt our spaces. We have had to find spaces that are suitable for the work method of the women who have been integrated and this has enriched us in terms of creative development or personally gives me a different perspective of work as women artists”.
The edition of this 2023 will begin this Friday, with a great exhibition at 5:00 p.m., in the Historical Archive, place where Rina Cuellar she spent her last years as a researcher and historian. “The visuals also have another exhibition, but in Guamúchil, on March 17; and with an invitation from the Palos Blancos Festival we have some workshops.
