CAMPAIGN AGAINST SEXUAL HARASSMENT IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT AND PUBLIC SPACE
As a result of the workshop "Reclaiming Public Space in the Face of Sexual Harassment in Public Transport," held by Habitajes AC and CoHabita DF, I collaborated with a group of 20 women from Mexico City, with diverse ages and occupations, in the development of a campaign against sexual harassment.
The workshop provided an introspective journey into our personal experiences with sexual harassment in public spaces and in our daily lives. Throughout the process, we shared our stories and reflected collectively, addressing themes of recognition and healing. The outcome of this process transformed into a collaborative artistic project.
The resulting graphic work consists of a series of photographic portraits that I took of the participants, accompanied by messages inviting other women to reflect on the importance of empathy, power, and the reclamation of the right to use and enjoy public transport and public spaces in a free and safe manner.
