CERRUCHA (she/her): from Latin origins cer, “to be,” and cerrucha, “a saw,” f.; an embodied tool for transformation. Toothed blade that subversively speaks to the senses: Cerrucha, present tense of cerruchar, to cut through fixed ideals, dismantling absolutes.
Art as political action, as rebellion, as encounter, as joy.

For the past fifteen years, my work has examined gender-based violence and its intersections with systemic oppression. I create platforms that amplify diverse voices, using art as a tool for political action and collective resistance. Participation is at the heart of my practice. I design projects that foster collective experiences aimed at transforming systemic violence.
Using interactive methods like non-violent communication and theater improvisation, my work culminates in large-scale photo-based imagery, archival elements, and celebratory interventions, such as flash mobs dancing to song lyrics derived from participants' testimonies. This approach fosters dialogue and togetherness, reclaiming public space for shared narratives through the perspectives of joy and memory. By collaborating with activists, lawyers, psychologists, and survivors, I respond to the historical context of violence against women and feminized bodies in Mexico.


My commissioned works include projects for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Mexico, UN Women France, and the Mexican Congress. I hold a Fine Arts degree in Photography from Concordia University, along with academic training in theory, gender, and sexuality.


Among my notable projects is the Memorial for Lesvy and the Victims of Femicide in Mexico City. I have contributed to gender equality initiatives for the Ministry of Culture, organized public art festivals, and served on the advisory board for the Rosario Castellanos Chair at UNAM University. In 2021, I co-founded DISIDENTA: Transfeminist Social Practices, an initiative dedicated to implementing, teaching, and archiving feminist social practices throughout Latin America.
