Maya,
In March 2010, there will be a series of events in Mexico City, Mexico, Los Angeles, California, and other cities, meant to be a ritual of mourning for the femicides in Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua: Art as a pathway of opposition and resistance to violence.
We invite you to be part of this initiative of art activism. Below is the link to the blog we have dedicated to this and where you will find the Call for Entries. This invitation is open to all individuals, groups, organizations, artists and activists. The events in March 2010 will include awareness raising creative workshops, intervention actions, plays and performances and the exhibition of the art work received through the call for entries and the resulting art from the workshops. http://unaoracionporjuarez.blogspot.com/
For those who do not live in Mexico City or Los Angeles metropolitan areas, we invite you to organize your own community activity during the same month of March, 2010. It could be an Art Exhibit, a book discussion, a movie screening, a poetry reading, etc. We ask you to include the original title of this event “A Prayer for Juarez,” and to send us your schedule, and later on, photos and documentation, to be included in the blog.
To include your event, or for any kind of issue related, please write to us:
In the US: aprayerforjuarez@gmail.com
In Mexico: unaoracionporjuarez@gmail.com
Creating protest art transcends culture and gender. We are united in a larger community of like-minds and humanitarian goals. We thank you in advance for your dedication and your prayers for the women of Ciudad Juarez. NI UNA MAS!
PLEASE FORWARD THIS DATA TO PEOPLE YOU KNOW
WHO WOULD BE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING

I recently received this newsletter and thought of your video work. I will post more details in the blog. Just thought I'd pass it along.

- Maya,
After I watched your videos Latin Role Model and Video Reel, I found myself intrigued as to your motivations for putting together such powerful performances.
Traveling through your websites and resume, I was at first confused and then relieved to see I was reading about one person! I actually needed to stop reading your blogs so I can get going with my day!!! :)
As an educator and person of mixed heritage myself, I just wanted to tell you... your sharing of your personal complexity is much appreciated. I would hope that you are finding many people in your life who are able to a learn from your work and passionate drive. (I think you have!) But more importantly, that you are able to take pride in the fact that your ability to communicate with others through your art is strong and resonates.
Keep creating and many blessings to you along the way, what a wonderful journey.

I must feel safe and secure enough to express my art in a way that will not be suppressed by my environment; that is when I feel safe, secure; when I feel as though I can produce anything. Memories, peace of mind and strong emotions also help. My ar…
