El Tendedero (The Clothesline) is a participative installation that Mónica Mayer first presented in Mexico in 1978. Since then it has been renewed on many occasions. It is a work that practices the poll methodology and invites the public to leave written answers hung in a structure that resembles a clothesline, which gives the work its name: El Tendedero (The Clothesline). The first version invited the public of Mexico City to complete the sentence: 'As a woman, what I hate most in the city is… '. The ongoing femicides have been encouraging international feminist movements. In this context, Mayer's work gets updated and urgent. The questions raised from this work, harassment and rape, make room for participatory analysis and criticism of violence against women in contemporary society.
