CERRUCHA: from Latin origins, cer—“to be”—and cerrucha—“a saw,” f.; an embodied tool for transformation. Toothed blade that subversively talks to your senses: Cerrucha, present tense of cerruchar, to cut through fixed ideals, dismantling the unquestioned. Art as rebellion, a call to reflection, an invitation to see yourself in the Other.

Over the past fifteen years, my work has critically examined gender-based violence and its intersections with systemic oppression. Through a variety of pedagogical approaches, I create platforms that amplify diverse voices, transforming art into a tool for political awareness and collective resistance. Collaborating with activists, human rights lawyers, feminist psychologists and survivors, my socially engaged projects directly respond to the realities of violence against women and feminized bodies in Mexico.


Participation is a key element in my work, as my projects revolve around collective experiences and aim to transform systemic violence through culture. As a workshop facilitator and cultural instigator, I continually seek new ways to expand my pedagogical practices, incorporating strategies such as non-violent communication, theater improvisation, and other playful, critical, and systemic approaches. My background in professional photography plays a significant role in my practice, where I blend portraiture, popular rhythms, dance, memory, protest, and testimonies into the creation of my work to foster dialogue with and among citizens.


I have developed commissioned works for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Mexico, UN Women France, and visual campaigns for the Mexican Congress. I studied Fine Arts with a major in Photography at Concordia University in Montreal, Canada, and have academic training in theory, gender, and sexuality. 


I created the Memorial for Lesvy and the Victims of Femicide in Mexico City. Additionally, I have worked on gender equality projects for the Ministry of Culture, organized public art festivals, and served as a member of the advisory board for the Rosario Castellanos Chair at UNAM University.


In 2021, I co-founded and currently co-coordinate DISIDENTA: Community of Social Practice + Feminist Knowledge along with artist Lorena Wolffer and curator María Laura Rosa, an initiative dedicated to fostering, developing, and teaching feminist social practice in Latin America.
