What is your opinion about tattoos?      I really like the tattoo culture. I think that it`s an artistic expression like everyone one else. It seems to me that in the past time tattoos were viewed as some of the marginal people, it was a mark on your body which define you as a criminal or like part of a group of people, like a band. Today it's pretty common to see tattooed people on the street, and every kind of person brings tattoos on themselves, even at the public service. It's absolutely fine for to me decide to tattoo doesn't matter what your work is, and I believe that anyone can discriminate against you because of a physical and superficial mark on your body.  What is your opinion about recycling?      To me, recycling right now isn't enough. Maybe some years ago it was fine but today I believe that it's the last step when we decide to care for the planet. If we put the "three r" in order of relevance it will be REUSE-REDUCE-RECYCLE. We should s...

if I could change the curriculum of the visual arts career, I would modify it mainly from the second year onwards. I consider that the first year works correctly since it teaches the visual language and gradually approaches the basic knowledge that one must have, in terms of color, form, composition, drawing, media, etc. However, in the second year, in addition to the drawing and theoretical courses, there are three instrumental workshops. In my case, and in the case of some of my classmates, we opted for workshops that we did not necessarily like at all, but to fit the schedule of these, I think this should not happen. My solution is to have more workshops on the same course so that we can choose correctly. As for infrastructure we have not really participated in this, because almost two years of pandemic followed by a strike has not allowed us to occupy the facilities. But from what colleagues from previous generations say it is quite decadent, the school of visual arts is old and th...

     I wouldn't really like to travel back in time, I think the world in some ways has never worked better and the future doesn't look very promising, but if I had the opportunity to travel in a time machine I would prefer to go back in time, probably to the Middle Ages. Despite the risks I would run for being a woman at that time I would like to be able to visit such a context and implement ideas of the future (my present) about gender, the role of women, the eradication of slavery, and somehow accelerate the processes and social changes that have taken centuries. Obviously I would not like to go alone, the best thing for such a trip would be to go with a large group of people, with different qualities and from different disciplines. Together we could make a very discreet anonymous society so as not to be caught and thus be able to spread revolutionary ideas for the time, it would be a pamphlet movement to which anyone who wants could join. this trip would be only to ful...
