Federal District, Mexico. 12/05 (N22) .- At 16 years, Chalk graffiti is one of the youngest in Mexico and is also one of the few women in the office and that has earned her comments bother you, such as "for woman, paint very well. "
Like her, many girls have taken to the streets to demonstrate in their graffiti that the values \u200b\u200battributed to the "taggers" traditional also apply to them: courage, power and risk.
To recognize and publicize the work of young graffiti artists, street art and performance, the Company Dokins for new artistic practices presented at the Museum of Mexico City street work is us. The participation of women in urban art.
reported as CD packaging, book-object consists of a "booklet" featuring the 24 artists and philosophy, as well as a collection of "stickers" with samples of his work was directed editing Said by the visual artist Emmanuel Dokins Milian and designed by Jhonathan Dokins Milian.
for editing work itself was not selected, but gave room for all the work that young people presented in Mexico City and Guadalajara from a call launched by Dokins.
"Generally, these artists are anonymous and we wanted to have face and name, in the design of the book we wanted to show that these girls are rude, some flowers are not roses," said Jhon.
The publication Dokins Said explained, arises from the detection of gender issues in the graffiti: "it has to do with the low participation of women in the graffiti, we demonstrate that the graffiti is no gender, it's all the band performing it. "
The work is also a way to fight for equity for a balance in the areas of participation: "The girls have been trampled by the? old school, there are a lot of machismo, and right now it is important to at least raise, raise, the female voice. "
In letters to characters, white and black to spray color of the walls to the stickers, the European-American influence: for Said, in the last 10 years in Mexico has evolved graffiti techniques, themes and forms of presentation, and although each time losing more of its illegal character to join the galleries, the risks remain latent for those painted on the streets.
"We can be more risky, there are fines, but recognize there are places more, in many places are recognizing the graffiti as part of the art, many graffiti artists and are healers so they can bring this art to galleries, "said Dokins.
The street is on us. The participation of women in the urban art was sponsored by the Mexican Institute of Youth and contains works by 24 visual artists Isoldak identified by nicknames, Yosha, Natsu, Muñekazul and Fairy.
