The Murcian artist believes that "today, machismo continues in the audiovisual world, and I can say it with all the tranquility of the world. I cannot give names, but I have companions who work in a medium where men are the ones who stand out, although women do exactly the same or sometimes better work, although I do not believe in a feminism that affirms that women are better, nor any of that, what I always intend is to speak from equality. to say that there are still companions today who are doing an incredible job and they are not recognized as they do with their fellow men. "
Photographer María José Cárceles has repeatedly recalled these words in various media outlets as part of her argumentative struggle against contempt for women from people still anchored in an outdated concept of society.
The photography exhibition that opened this Friday at the Siyâsa de Cieza Museum, 'The blue cotton jail', is part of that vindictive cry against another form of macho oppression against women as it is subject to invisibility.
A sample inaugurated by the Councilors of Museums and Women, Conchi Villa and Melba Miñano, respectively, which can be seen until January 5.
The two Andalusian houses of Siyâsa host an exhibition of 16 photographs that show the invisibility of women in those cultures in which they are forced to use the burqa because of sex.
Creative and sensitive snapshots that impact the spectator's retina capturing his mind and transferring it to the claustrophobic sensation of the female areas behind the fabrics and tulles of certain countries and cultures.
A timely cry precisely this week that celebrates the day of November 25 against gender violence.
They are prints that transcend the obvious documentary value they have to go beyond and position themselves in the field of art.
Not surprisingly, Cárceles has merged his facets as a visual artist and journalist on more than one occasion.
"Since childhood, I have always wanted to be a writer, but I was very clear that photography had to be part of my life, my father gave me a camera with seven years and the visual has always been with me. I knew, since my uncle bought a “super modern†video camera abroad, which I had to do in the visual, but I have never been to take a camera, I have been more to direct. When I met Rafa - he refers to her husband, Rafael Hortal- at sixteen, he also liked audiovisual media, he taught me how to handle the camera, but I like the script part more, it's like making a short story, and what I like is writing and directing. First I did Business, which I knew from the beginning that I did not like, and then Audiovisual in FP because I needed to channel my way towards this matter, I was part of the first promotion. From there I contacted a number of people who They came from Madrid and made
