Female Gazes: Ana Margarita Flores & Marisol Mendez
It's about being resourceful and even if it takes longer, if it's what you're meant to do, just keep doing it. Let's be honest, nobody is waiting for our work, so take your time and try to find ways to produce it. CDB Final question. There's this myth that I want us to dismantle, that men, especially in working environments, are better at creating connections and solidarity. Would you tell me about the people who helped you? MM I dedicated my book to my mum because she was really the person that was with me throughout the project. I called her assistant, but she deserves a more intersectional kind of named tag for what she did. My mom, even though she is not an artist, knows me and she knew the work, so even when I was sequencing, I would show it to her. I would share the work that I was doing in my family group chat and ask my sisters: we took these pictures, which one is better? I feel very happy to have this nucleus of family that is very supportive. The project would not be what it is if it wasn't for every woman that participated in it. I wish I could take credit, but I was surrounded by all this beautiful energy. And I must say that back then I had also these two male photographer friends who helped me a lot. My book editor was a woman, she was the one who convinced the publisher to make the book. My writing teacher, who is a poet from Argentina, and Elisa Medde wrote for my book. The book was a collective effort of all these women. Many eyes that go into a project, many conversations, many voices. ANA So for me it was very solitary at the beginning, but when I feel stuck, obviously many times during the process, I like sharing my ideas with my closest friends. Especially with my housemate, one of my best friends. She understands my background because we both grew up in Geneva and we are both Latin Americans. Then obviously my mother even though at the beginning she didn't really understand what I was doing but we opened up a dialogue which helped me to see many things.
