As a woman I have no country; the entire world is my land

“Ximena’s photographic oeuvre is a visual critique of how the planet is cut up in countries, outlined territories and borders: thus, the Earth and the bodies of women become a structural element in the division, appropriation and invisibilization of the Other – women and native indigenous peoples – deployed and manipulated by Western patriarchal logic and history.
Ximena Bedregal’s work represents a journey through the history of western appropriation and division of our planet, exploring the relationship between Earth, the feminine body and the transformation of the world – conceived as pacha, or Gaia – the permission or denial of transit and free movement. Her works explore the visual interplay between bodies and maps and Andean landscapes using soil-textured mediums. Her production is suggestive and modern, born out of her experience as woman, a pilgrim of life, a foreigner everywhere”. Museo Nacional de Arte
