Mujer Semilla in the re-signification of the identity of women in the city of Aguascalientes

Abstract

Street art is an artistic activity focused on the graphic intervention of the urban infrastructure of cities by transfiguring physical structures into expressive supports to show different ideas of a social, cultural or political nature. Sociopolitical interests turn street art into a contextual movement, since the participants are concerned about the problems of cities. This is the case of the Seed Woman collective in the town of Aguascalientes, who cares about the situations that women live in the hydro-warm society. The interest is materialized in the elaboration of pieces of paste up when representing the experiences that they have lived in the locality. The activities of Woman Seed were analyzed under the theoretical postulates of Judith Butler (2007) proposed within the book: The gender in dispute. Feminism and the subversion of identity. The author raises the possibility of constructing gender identity voluntarily through the repetition of acts. It is precisely the identity diversity that was observed in the paste-up pieces of the collective due to the search to graphically present options of women's identities on the infrastructure of the city, but, aimed at the hydro-warm society. It is concluded that the participation of Mujer Semilla is a symbolic act that aims to change people's frames of reference by showing them bodily identities, phrases and feelings associated with the daily life of women
