"I do not die. Perhaps
so many, so many landslides, so many deaths, maybe,
so much forgetfulness, rejections,
so many gods that they fled with beloved words
they do not let me die forever. "

fragment of the poem "Quiero morir" by Idea Vilariño

A board. Eight women, eight exemplary ladies who knew how to deal with their multiple adversaries. Female poets that with their words, their acting, and their work, had to learn to deal with death. Faces that stalk meticulously, which I engrave on plexiglass /on memory. Women that left an infinite legacy in their words and that today with my work I hope to pay them homage.
