Resumen:
The raw, the cooked and the finely sliced: Recipes from women in prison
represents the work carried out by the academic project Mujeres en
Espiral [Women in Spiral] based at the National Autonomous University
in Mexico, with women in prison at Santa Martha Acatlita in Mexico City.
The cook book is an instrument of representation and construction of a
critical collectivity, made during 2019, through artistic and
pedagogical workshops held in the prison. It functions as a record, an
archive, a manual and a protest mechanism, testimony of their
conditions, demands and claims emanated in one of the places more
rapidly understood as feminine and non intelectual: the kitchen We
present the cook book along some of the most recognized Anglo and Latin
American feminist productions. Through recipes and narratives which
evoque former and current memories of their smells, experiences, forms
of submission and resistance, and their utensils, cooking strategies and
ingredients, women in prison along with recognized feminist artists and
writers narrate their maneuvers to survive in different forms of
confinement, constructing a daily, creative, frequently festive and
critical communal activity.
