ATALANTE/ GUARDAR SILENCIO PARA QUE SE OIGAN LOS GOLPES, woodcut, Irving Herrera 2009

A silent sentinel carved in ink — Herrera’s most enigmatic luchadora listens through scars, not speech. In GUARDAR SILENCIO PARA QUE SE OIGAN LOS GOLPES, Irving Herrera distills the voice of resistance into its most radical form: silence. The masked figure, head tilted back in a rictus of toothy laughter or pain, is adorned with amulets, bones, hearts, initials, and claws.
