Susana comes to share her new work with us from Mexico City and describes her book:

"The book Mujercitos, presents the photographs of highly sexualized subjects taking center stage within the images, reversing the power dynamics between the photographer and the photographed. Mujercitos are shown posing and smiling provocatively at the photographer of the definitive example of the nota roja periodical Alarma, published weekly between 1963 -1986. The term mujercitos coined during the mid 1960s by Carlos Zamayoa, Alarma’s editor-in-chief at the time, was used as a synonym for “effeminate man,” playing with the notion of gender through a grammatical feminization of the male subject by adding a comedic pun. The book argues that these photographs work as a site of resistance to and a subversion of many different forms of violence in Mexico."
