The reconstruction of the image of women in the Puente Grande prison, Jalisco

  • Martha Ileana Landeros Casillas

Whe role that women play in today's society is the result of an ancestral assignment; however, this role is increasingly questioned by women themselves and it seems that the more they question, the more violence is generated against them, placing them in a staggering situation between being a victim or a victimizer. This is a project that delves into the construction of female identity through photographs of women who have been violated in various ways; It is an experimental proposal made with the inmates of the Puente Grande Center for Women's Reintegration, Jalisco (Mexico), with the aim that the participants were able to reconstruct their identity and link it with the violent environment where they grew up. We take into account subaltern and gender studies, as well as research based on art and the Between Voices methodology, so that this accompaniment would be from horizontality.
