Do you know that women artists are reshaping Mexico’s muralist tradition? Here are 10 of them.
Founded by Scarlett Baily, @mujeresmuralistas aims to increase the visibility of work by women muralists by creating awareness in curators of exhibitions, organizers of art festivals, and the general public of the importance of artwork by women.
This project grew out of Scarlett’s realization that women were being looked over in favor of their male counterparts at festivals, exhibitions, and public projects. In August 2019, Scarlett put out a ‘call to draw’ asking Mexican, Chicana, and foreign artists with murals in Mexico, to sit for her. Many women responded to the call, and Scarlett, took the idea from here to a more ambitious projection.
