INFIERNO (2022)

This is a collaboration between artist Iván Casís Jr. and the poet Andrea Halaby, created for theVERSEverse's "POESIA DE PROTESTA" art exhibition. The piece is inspired on her poem titled INFIERNO that's based on an interview she conducted in February 2018 with a 47-year-old woman from Bogotá, Colombia, who is a victim of gender violence. This work is a part of her series called "Documentary Poetry."

POESÍA DE PROTESTA is an exhibition featuring 10 poems in Spanish written by Hispanic women. The texts all express a form of protest–political, economical, sexual, or social. Each poem has been interpreted by a visual artist, with curation by Cuban historian and art professor Gladys Garrote.
