Los Diablos Danzantes de Yare, es una festividad religiosa venezolana en lo que solamente los hombres pueden utilizar la máscara y vestir completamente de rojo. Esta jerarquización de la indumentaria propone al hombre como centro de la celebración.
Esta serie fotográfica utiliza símbolos de la celebración mirandina para reflexionar sobre las prácticas culturales patriarcales que durante años han construido una sociedad machista.
Esta idea de sociedad androcentrista ha creado una distorsión sobre la imagen de la mujer y sus diferentes representaciones. En esta investigación visual proponemos la representación de la mujer trans que actualmente es objeto de ataque y violación de derechos humanos. Esta imposición de una sociedad binaria en la que el hombre ejerce el poder, genera desinformación sobre las posibilidades del género y la construcción de identidades diversas.
La reproducción de nuevas narrativas que exploren la diversidad y la validación de los géneros es un camino para educar e informar. En una sociedad todes tenemos el derecho a coexistir.

In 1995 a genocide occurred in the city of Srebrenica. 8, 000 Bosnian Muslims were killed by members of the Serbian army, whose campaign included deportations and rapes as a weapon of war, in addition to mass killings. This confrontation was not more than the culmination of 500 years of conflict between two ethnic-religious groups for the territorial integrity of their peoples.
