Women Working for Women by Maria
Maria Acha-Kustcher is a project for public spaces that recovers the
women's historic memory through portraits of female personalities who have
forged change and fought to improve the situation for their gender. The project
also includes visual registers based on press images of the female memory in
public protests. Each image is the result of an investigation in various
archives that tells us a story of struggle that has brought important changes
to the way we perceive gender and, consequently, to the history of humankind.
The ellaboration of each portrait are made digitally and pinted in large format
tarp that refers to the language of political and commercial messages that
abound in Latin American cities.
