I got invited by Jessica Cochran to perform the Machera Series 5 during the opening of “Document” exhibition at Woman Made Gallery. It was an extraordinary way to start the new year 2015. My friend and performer Liliana Castellanos and I have noticed that the Machera Series varies every time. The viewer makes it different. It is quite interesting to see that when we performed salsa and merengue, music that makes your body shake, a few viewers try to clap or dance but they notice that others viewers are not doing it too, they stop. It is evident that the performance faces three cultures: South American, North American, and art gallery.

This installment was very special because is the first exhibition at Woman Made Gallery with its new director Claudine Isé and Manager Sydney Stoudmire, who used to be the coordinator. They were very supportive and enthusiastic about the performance.
