Olga García Echeverría + Tanya Flores Hodgson SOMOS MUCHAS
All I’m saying is don’t lump us all together in the same cazuela as if you were making capirotada Somos muchas Las Muertas / Las Lloronas Hay Lloronas who appear bloody and greñudas with barbwire tangled around the _______ (fill in the blank) It takes skull and skill and a particular aesthetic to being dead Even a face lacking eyes can be beautiful You just have to know how to carry it you have to know how to wear the void Listen Hear those high-pitched cries that sound like newborns or cats in heat? That’s Me. That’s Us. Have you heard La Carretera Que Chilla?
