We are proud to announce the new publication by Wendy Cabrera Rubio, with Temblores publishing house.
“The adventures of relative existence and other tales” takes a journey between the echoes of the past and the fractures of the present through the gaze of Wendy Cabrera Rubio, an artist who explores the ways in which historical discourses shape Mexican identity.
The publication takes as its starting point the aesthetics of children's books and postulates a series of critical questions about national identity in Mexico. Referencing popular education books to criticize the country's political model and with satirical overtones, Cabrera Rubio reveals the temporal traces through which nationalism, the search for an indigenous past and the construction of mestizaje (mixed race) pass.
The pages are accompanied by drawings, puppets, scripts and a compendium of essays on the limits of time.
The publication was edited by Ana Gabriela García and Ana Isabel Garduño and was designed by Crea Moho.
Like much of Cabrera Rubio's work, it is a collaborative exercise with contributions by Natalia de la Rosa, Daniel Aguilar Ruvalcaba, Neil Mauricio Andrade, Yuriko Cortés, Christian Gómez, Edgar Hernández, Juan Pablo Ramos, Sandra Sánchez, Aldo Sánchez, M.S.
