We Are Fire

View on the Pragda STREAM site

Mar Maremoto, a vibrant force of queer punk energy, fearlessly tackles machismo, fat-shaming, and societal norms through her dynamic artwork from cartoons to murals, to create a space for hope and solidarity.

But how can this translate into making the streets of Mexico safer? On a quest to challenge the macho norms in her country, Maremoto talks to women affected by violence who are trying to change society through self-defense and political demonstrations: “They wanted to bury us, but they did not know we were seeds.”

The film is an ode to the young artist’s rebellion against the increasingly dangerous reality for women in Mexico, where 10 femicides a day make it one of the most dangerous places in the world for women.
