SORORIDAD Colectiv: Women in the Arts Historical Center Foundation
Grant
Casa Vecina for ( r )
The Sororidad collective in Mexico City emerges as a powerful space for women in the arts, rooted in sound experimentation, noise research, performance, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Through collective creation, the project has fostered a platform where women artists explore the relationship between body, sound, technology, and resistance, creating immersive experiences that challenge traditional artistic structures and amplify female voices within experimental art practices. Inspired by the principles of sorority, solidarity, and collective empowerment, the collective embraces sound as both an artistic and political act, generating spaces of dialogue, listening, and transformation. Within this collective, artists such as Lillian Castillo Muller, Mirna Castro, Danae Silva, and Eva have contributed through diverse artistic languages that intersect movement, sound, poetry, performance, and embodied research. Their collaborative processes investigate the body as an archive of memory and resonance, where noise, silence, voice, and gesture become tools for artistic expression and social reflection. Through performances, experimental sessions, workshops, and live sound explorations, Sororidad has cultivated an environment where women creators support one another while expanding the possibilities of contemporary performance and sonic art in Mexico City’s independent cultural scene.
