articule has the pleasure of inviting you to an artist talk by Amanda Ruiz Méndez (MTL) as part of the exhibition When the Mountains Move.

When the Mountains Move is a material based research-exhibition that studies the role of women within the indigenous Mexican Zapatistas movement as an example of resistance within the resistance.

She considers social mobilization as a fundamentally creative process where art occupies the public space while cultivating collective memory.
