Maps from within
Through a bodily and emotional mapping of the spaces they have inhabited (or rather survived, in their own words), two young women from different neighborhoods of Iztapalapa (Mexico City) tell us about their experiences of harassment and abuse. We see their participation in acts of collective resistance for the reappropriation of the space that should be their home; marking in real space, the violence that existed, but is no longer seen. As a form of memory. To put a name to the statistics. Noise, that you cannot silence and that you cannot stop seeing.
