Joséphine Sacabo will be exhibiting a new series of photogravures entitled, Óyeme con los Ojos [Hear Me With Your Eyes], inspired by the life and work of Sor Juana Ines de la Cruz, a 17th century Mexican nun who was one of the greatest poets and intellectuals of the American continent. Sor Juana lived in Mexico City in the late 1600′s and was very active in defending women’s rights in Mexico through her writing and poetry which centered on freedom.
