The performances took place at culturally significant sites in Mexico City, such as the Monumento a la Madre, engaging with themes of motherhood and cultural identity. At the Fuente de los Cántaros, featuring indigenous model Luz Jiménez, I critiqued the portrayal of Indigenous women in Mexican history. The performance at Monumento a la Raza, a site dedicated to Indigenous peoples, and at archaeological sites outside the city, connected my work to the preservation of artifacts and the reclamation of cultural identity. These performances gesture towards reclaiming the heritage of Egyptian mummies from colonial framings and rejecting caretaking roles imposed on mothers by societal expectations.
