Photography
This photography was taken by Marcelo
Montecino. This is a photo that causes me a lot of pain, because it shows the
history of the "cueca alone". This is a dance that began the family
women of detainees disappeared during the military dictatorship, and who presented
for the first time in the first act of the day of women celebrated in
dictatorship, in 1979 in the caupolican theater. As we can see in the
photography, this dance it was characterized because the women sangs, while one
of them went out to dance the cueca, but in all these dances the woman did not
have a partner to dance. They put a photo in your chest that showed their
husband disappeared. The cueca is transformed into a sign of sadness and it was no
longer a reason to celebrate. This is a photo that I would like to rescue because it tells a story of how important women were in resistance to the dictatorship.
Cueca sola is, for me, a feminist art expression.
ReplyDeletePhoto you chose is very representative and it shows resistance
I think that the photo you chose is very powerful and also is capable to resignify something so common like cueca, a dance that created the elite to celebrate between them, but now you brought something different and with a strong meaning. Shout-out to you n.n
