Venue: Political, artistic, sporting, and cultural International Congress of Women who Fight, Caracol Morelia, Chiapas, Mexico
Date: 9 March 2018
The 9th of March 2018 in the context of the “Political, artistic, sporting, and cultural International Congress of Women who Fight”, called by the Zapatista Army of National Liberation in Mexico, (EZLN) I proposed to the organizers of this event: to do an art demonstration and art selling of an engraving my father Eugenio Cornejo (1940, Santiago de Chile-2002, Puebla, Mexico) did as a refugee in socialist Bulgaria in 1977. The authorities of the autonomous organization granted me permission in 15 minutes and offered me a piece of cardboard and a public space to sell my engravings. I became part of the art market for the first time in my life in an autonomous community.
