MÓNICA MAYER 

Mónica Mayer talks about her collected writings, 2022

Mónica Mayer, Wednesday (from the series “Diary of Everyday Acts of Violence”), 1984, gouache, ink, pastel and photocopy on paper, 27 1/2 x 35 3/8’’


A pioneer of feminist art in Mexico, Mónica Mayer uses humor and satire to address gender-related topics largely absent from public discourse. Intimidades . . . o no.

Art, Life, and Feminism, Editorial Diecisiete) surveys her prolific writing practice, a vital extension of her artistic output for more than four decades.
