[EN] THE SYMBOLIC VIOLENCE OF THE PHOTOGRAPHIC ACT
Al ser acosada, solía sentir culpa por la forma en que me vestía o por donde decidía caminar en la calle. Pero entre más consciente era de la violencia de género, la culpa comenzó a tornarse en enojo. Entonces empecé a responder a las agresiones fotografiando con mi celular a los hombres que me agredían.
[EN] When I was harassed, I often felt guilty about the way I dressed or where I chose to walk on the street. But the more aware I became of gender violence, the guilt began to turn to anger. Then I began to respond to the attacks by photographing the men who attacked me with my cell phone.
“las mujeres se encuentran supeditadas a expresiones concretas de agresiones y violencias, que las llevan a un punto crónico de habitar de forma subalterna los espacios”.
