Roxana Fabius, Curator and Executive Director at A.I.R. Gallery, joins María Evelia Marmolejo in an exchange centered on Marmolejo's career—from her work in the early 1980s in Colombia when she was challenging and disrupting the systematized governmental violence against female bodies, to her approach to the birth of her son as a performance in Madrid in 1985, and through to her recent work that responds to current political conditions.
