Beschreibung: This thesis studies the utilization of text and image in art as protests against gender-based violence in Mexico and Chile. I focus on two case studies, created only five years apart by two pioneers of Latin American feminist art: M�nica Mayer (b. Mexico, 1955-present) and Lotty Rosenfeld (b. Chile, 1943-2020). Mayer?s El tendedero (1978-) consists of a dialogical installation that emboldens women to share experiences of sexual abuse by writing them on pink index cards and hanging them on a clothesline. Rosenfeld?s No+ (1983-) employs a protest slogan that emerged during Chile?s military dictatorship and has become emblematic of the women?s movement. Both of these projects condemn sexual violence through the use of words, transmitted intergenerationally since their first iteration.
