Opening: Saturday September 16th 12pm
Women have historically been confined to the domestic sphere. Estibaliz Sádaba Murguía's work aims to shed light on the socially invisible work that women perform within this realm. In this regard, the goal is to bring it out into the public light, i.e., “the agora".
This research, embodied in images and methodologically projected through actions, unfolds on the genesis of the very idea of the "domestic" in contrast to the idea of "public space". It seeks to uncover the circumstances for the centuries-long isolation, confinement and disciplining of women within the domestic realm.
The confinement of women to the domestic sphere is the logical consequence of being part of a patriarchal social structure. Consequently, the aim is to examine, challenge and work on women's relationship with the domestic domain. Just as in previous projects, Estibaliz Sádaba Murguía indistinctly uses the languages of drawing, sound and video, writing, action/performance and photography (the latter being the one used on this occasion). The work methodology consists of deploying a wide constellation of images as a result of the combination of these techniques. The aim of the action is to subvert this reclusion, taking the struggle out of the kitchen and the bedroom and into the streets.
