About the Work

The National Anthem is brodcasted daily at midnight and it had been the same for more than 50 years, with the same voices from a men, women and kids chore. But it’d never being done only by women voices. That’s why we reached out for 9 mothers, daughters and sisters from feminicide victims in Mexico, that sung the National Anthem a capella, alongside Frida Guerrera. Then, one by one the 9 women stopped singing and disappeared every 10 seconds, portraying how does it feels to lose the voice of a woman daily. Using one of the most emblematic Mexican songs as a warcry of justice to give a voice to this problem in Mexico.
