Musician, Social Activist
Question:
You are a musician and social activist living in Mexico City. How is your art influenced by
your activism?
Answer:
Art is the main tool for the activism that I do. I am a singer-songwriter, writer and recently I began to work as a script creator, actress, and director of my own short films. I am a conceptual artist and I love breaking schemes and permeating art in peaceful activism. with great strength and firmness. My activism IS my art.
In 2015 I founded the ‘LOVE Project’ with my work and life colleagues, the composers and producers Jehovah Villa Monroy and Ernesto Guerrero. This project promotes the concept of peace through various means, such as stories and concerts, and speaks to assertive communication in the family.
I believe that each individual, once exposed to art, will be able to say that her life will never be the same again.
