The works featured in Nosotras Cautivas are constructed using the “cadavre exquis” technique, created by the Surrealists in 1925. It is a sequential composition, in which each participant draws on a sheet of paper and then folds the content, leaving a partly visible drawing. In this way, each artist intervenes in the collective work without seeing the content of the previous creation.

The book is composed by several triptychs, in which three artists have been invited to intervene in one of the three sections A, B and C of an A4 paper. This game took place during the first confinement imposed by Covid-19 establish the need for meeting points. This is how the possibility of playing and creating in an artistic exchange appeared between Buenos Aires and Paris.

The project grew and was built with participants from Argentina and France, establishing links between young artists and established artists, known and unknown, close and remote, weaving links between people and their works.

For more than two years Nosotras Cautivas was in charge of inviting, collecting, ordering and successively forwarding the tracks to the artists who fed the works. The collection today comprises 55 triptychs by 79 artists.
