Her works, mainly in video and photography, offer a critical look against certain forms of power not exempt from caustic humour. In some of them the action passes into daily environments that disguise a harsh criticism towards social and political stereotypes and attitudes.<\/p>\n

Cristina Lucas based her project on a quote from the critics cited in Virginia Woolf\u2019s A Room of One\u2019s Own.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The critics, Nick Greene, Dr Johnson, and Cecil Gray, concur: \u2018Sir, a woman\u2019s composing is like a dog\u2019s walking on his hind legs.\u00a0\u00a0It is not done well, but you are surprised to find it done at all.\u2019 In You can walk, too!\/T\u00fa tambi\u00e9n puedes caminar, we find the artist\u2019s response, not without a note of acid humour, to this critique, which unfortunately is still latent in certain sectors of society in many corners of the world.\u00a0\u00a0Using video and photography, she sets before us images of dogs walking about on their hind legs in different domestic settings, where women are carrying out their everyday activities.\u00a0\u00a0The witty air of these little dogs walking on two legs ironically masks a severe criticism of social and gender inequality, which is still relevant not only in the territory where we find ourselves, but in many others, where women do not have the right to express their ideas nor to exercise a freely chosen profession.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Nick Greene (…) said that a woman acting made him think of a dancing dog. Johnson repeated this phrase two hundred years later in reference to women preachers. And here we have (…) the very same words used again in 1929, applied to women who try to write music (…) A woman composer is like a dog that walks on its hind legs. She does not do it well, but it is already surprising that she can do it at all.<\/em><\/p>\n
