Draw for Change - We Are Fire (Mexico)
Karen Vazquez Guadarrama / Belgium, Luxembourg / 2023 / 52 min
WE ARE FIRE captures a young artist’s rebellion against the increasingly dangerous reality for women in Mexico. With 10 femicides a day, it is one of the most dangerous places in the world for women. Mar Mar Maremoto shares her illustrations online, with the goal to create a space for hope and solidarity. But how can this translate to make the streets of Mexico safer? On a quest to challenge the macho norms in her country, Mar talks to women affected by violence who are trying to change society through self-defence and political demonstrations: “They wanted to bury us, but they did not know we were seeds.”
