Latina Role Model

Latina Role Model
http://mayaescobar.com/facebook

Jewish Women, Jewish Girls, The Club, and Latina Role Model are part of a series entitled Acciones Plásticas, an interactive performance piece that questions the role of stereotyping in the development of identity. Modeled after low-quality videos blogs, each video features a woman whose life has been visibly defined by societal expectations. The videos are made accessible to the general public through their strategic placement, on all of the popular social networking sites such as youtube and myspace. This internet-backdrop contextualizes the videos by framing them with similarly tagged content. The linked videos, images, and profiles point directly to the heart of the depicted stereotypes.

I'm a Hispanic woman and I'm insulted on how ignorant your making us look, I mean do you honestly need to take your shirt off, put that Porno music and makes those stupid faces to make a point, no! Maybe this was satire I don't know but it badly put across and could of been done more proffessionaly!!!

great job being a role model for women the only you prove is women are good for looks and serving men and not being there own person.

Dude i feelyou but, it would be much easier to conccentrate if she didnt reveal so much

[Hipsishere]

@2013Glender I think (like a lot of people) you've completely mistranslated her message. She's making fun of the Latina stereotype, hence taking her clothes off/being sexy but at the same time expressing intelligent opinions on social issues and she's doing that by acting out the stereotype to make people think. You should go on maya escobar's website and read what she does, it's not just Latina stereotypes. No need to be insulted at all, I think what she does is great.
