Title: Estado de emergencia
Description: State of Emergency was a project coordinated by Lorena Wolffer (Mexico), in collaboration with María Laura Rosa (Argentina) and Jennifer Tyburczy (United States) for the Centro Nacional de las Artes and the Centro de Cultura Digital around the violent reality that cis and trans women live in Mexico City and the rest of the country. Designed from and on a mapping of femicides and transfemicides in the city (which extends over two government agencies responsible for addressing and eradicating such violence), "State of Emergency" was carried out in November of 2018 in four sites transformed into spaces of resilience and political resistance. Each was intervened by an artist or collective and housed a public room in which to discuss what happened there to propose specific actions that transform the reality and guarantee non-repetition.
