Fer/Cary Fuentes (México)
Fer/Cary Fuentes is a nonbinary Mexican artist whose new work explores masculinity and gender and sexual dissidence during a moment of profound patriarchal violence in Mexico. They first emerged onto the Mexican artistic scene as a performance artist at the end of the 1990s. In the early 2000s, Fuentes and their collaborator, Lorena Méndez, transitioned their work away from strictly artistic venues and began to work in the Mexican prison system in a project known as La Lleca. This ever shifting collective of artists, therapists, anarchists, and intellectuals became known for its nontraditional, experimental, and exploratory collaborative work with incarcerated and formerly incarcerated individuals around thematics of gender, masculinity, and sexuality. In 2008 La Lleca published an overview of some of their methodologies and experiences in Cómo hacemos lo que hacemos (JUMEX, 2008), and in 2018 their archive became part of the Centro de Documentación Arkheia in the Museo Universitario Arte Contemporáneo (MUAC).
