In this first issue, María Laura Rosa presents an article on the work of Mónica Mayer and Magali Lara, Mexican artists related to the second wave of feminism, interpellated by the different feminine representations that surrounded their context. In their production, both of them turn visible the seismic times that their generation went through, in which the prescriptive images of femininity collided against the emancipatory airs of the feminist movement, in search of the change of roles of women within the family and professional spheres. Thus, from the perspective of María Laura Rosa, we acknowledge the strategies used by the artists around the portrait, the use of religious imagery, the inclusion of words and schemes as subversive systems of thought, as opposed to the disciplinary and scholastic plans.
