Encuentro: The World Inside Out: Humor, Noise and Performance. Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics. Mexico City.
(In)terfertilization is a durational public performance by performance duo The DoMystics. The DoMystics consists of Canadian artist Monique Blom and Mexican artist Arantxa Araujo . This performance took on the form of a ritual to remember and make visible the missing and murdered women of the area due to a phenomenon known as Femicides. The hundreds of women were represented through unearthed hearts crafted of plaster and embedded with local flora/fauna from which these women disappeared. In remembrance of these individuals, the objects were placed in the public space and gifted during interactions with the public. The ephemera was given as a reminder of care taking, equality and respect.
