JMA Matriarchive In Resistance at WhiteBox NY

Curatorial-Matriarchiva

Yohanna M Roa, curator

This exhibition was the premiere worldwide activation of the Mexican-Lebanese pioneer ecofeminist architect Josefina Mena’s archive reconsidered within the contemporary paradigm of New York’s present-day artistic, cultural, environmental, and socio-political scene. It showcases her participation in various social, artistic and technological movements between 1967 and 1976 in Europe, Africa, and South America. Her life trajectory, architectural projects, art world links and political activism are framed in early intersectional, ecofeminist and decolonial practices.
