Polvo de Gallina Negra '' ( in Spanish : Black hen powder ) '' was a collective founded by Mexican visual artists Maris Bustamante and Mónica Mayer in 1983 , the first group of the feminist art genre in Mexico . For ten years , their activities included demonstrations , exhibitions , conferences , publication of texts , participation in media , performance , curatorship , and mail art . Bustamante wrote , “ W e grew while we built our families , so we had a lots of fun discovering that the social and cultural reality is penetrable . ” The 1970s were a time of complex sociopolitical change in Mexico , beginning with the crisis incited by the Tlatelolco Massacre in 1968 . In the arts , the sociopolitical situation “ defined a plastic language that looks for the narrow relation between the village , the politics and the art ”
