http://mayatalk.wordpress.com/2009/04/06/frida-kahlo-at-the-synagogue-maya-es...
from an article by David Sperber in Ma'arav Magazine kahlo-at-the-synagogue-maya-escobar/
In the first short film in the series she appears dressed up as the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo who became an icon within the feminist discourse. it is commonly argued that Kahlo had some Jewish roots. Escobar is dressed and made up as is famously attributed to Kahlo - the uni brow - while screaming "I am Frida Kahlo, you are Frida Kahlo, we are Frida Kahlo". In agitation or in ecstasy she tears her custom, messes up her hair, wipes her make up off of her face and returns to being herself. In another short film in the series she carries on with a monologue of a jewish orthodox woman. The text here is so exact that for a minute the line between irony and slapstick to deep seriousness is blurred. In another short film the stereotypical Latin female as a sexual sensual object is presented, when here too the subject is moving between embracing the stereotypes and breaking them. Escobar is presenting different episodes that she had experienced herself and that deal with her hybrid identity as a woman, as a Jew and as a Latin American.

Acciones Plasticas
Mujeres judías, Muchachas judías, El club, y La Profesionista Latina son parte de una serie titulada Acciones Plásticas, una obra de actuación interactiva que cuestiona el papel del estereotipo en el desarrollo de la identidad. Utilizando como modelo los blogs de videos, cada vídeo muestra a una mujer cuya vida ha sido definida visiblemente por las expectativas sociales. Los videos se hacen accesibles al público en general con su colocación estratégica, en todos los sitios populares de las redes sociales, como por ejemplo youtube y myspace. Viendo los videos en el Internet (con el contexto como fondo) que los conceptualiza con el contenido similar de las etiqueta. Los videos, las imágenes y los perfiles eslabonados apuntan directamente a la base de los estereotipos representados.

Que mal gusto, que tristeza me da el ver que pongas en mal a las chicas latinas. Por chicas como tu es que la gente aqui en USA estereotipa a las chicas latinas. Das pena!!!!!!!!!!

To jakesamoron, keep reflecting your degree of intelligence, furthermore your spirituality (Not religion related, just in case you jump to conclusions)

She has pretty hair and great boobs.

When girls who don't have pretty hair and great boobs create insightful performance art, do you know who pays attention to their work?

Nobody.
