​
Author’s Note: Warning. This is a fictive work of art that can become reality.

Gen X* fe/male artist no longer imitates human traditions but improves them.
We believe in modernity above established fraternities and add to the facts with music, artistic design and technology.
We’ve worked hard to overcome debilitated scenarios portrayed in rancid old school librettos.

Gen X fe/male artist is a liberator tearing down machoist and phallocentrism human legacies instilling social habits as beliefs of heritage.
We are kind, nurturing but tough thanks to real life depressions caused by baby boomers’ narcissism, affecting millennials and new generations.
We show the world that our soul isn’t ageing broken, but is pretty much ALIVE full of lust and conscious desire.

Gen X fe/male artist adopts a personality over a nationality, the future over the past, and is born where s/he dies every day.

Gen X fe/male artist have their roots in the sun, the stars and the moon, pure cosmic matter. S/he is impure.

Gen X fe/male artist is sensibly rebellious and not deterrent by danger to create self reflection stories for world causes that go beyond human conflicts. S/he transcends.

Gen X fe/male artist is open to understand the importance of fulfilling meaningful relationships to avoid unnecessary intergenerational trauma in the name of systemic and societal conventions.
We support trailblazers to break gender barriers, prejudice and biases that make friends, family and people around us, feel loved and accepted—no matter origin, sexual orientation, or looks.
We are believers of Nature’s breasts, music, art, and poetry.

Gen X fe/male artist is realistic about reproductive human rights.
We give hope and spark life-longing movements.
We are good humoured, listen to fatal news or to a dirty story, and yet, we aren’t loosing our minds over it.
We are insanely sane to embrace emotions and wrinkles, times of sorrow, days of joy in a desert or in the middle of a snowstorm.

Gen X fe/male artist is living on earth giving life to a plethora of transcending art from fashion to music anthems, scientific knowledge and design trends forever copied.
We have the experience of using our grandmother’s rotary phones for bonding dialogues, and also handle our mobiles bright screens with grace.

Gen X fe/male artists believe in restoration.
We reject bourgeois dogmas impregnated with rigidly hierarchical and quotidian corporate-life.
We know that the power of philosophy is the greatest law because is naked humanity.
The best thing that has happened to Gen X fe/male artist is being able to feel and suffer intensively. Therefore Gen X fe/male artist desires diversified creation. S/he is creation.

On the Author’s Roots

Viviana M. Calderon de la Barca is
writer and director of short film Life Is A Cultural Thread (2022),
Occupy Cultural Threads triptych installation (2021),
and short film Life Is A Journey (2019/20).


While all works pay homage to the director’s dear mixed heritage and ancestral linkages, Life Is A Cultural Thread (2022), is dedicated to her maternal legacy as the great granddaughter of Federico Calderón de la Barca Romualdi and Carmen García Vallesinos, both, offspring of Spanish and Italian immigrants to Mexico. 

Like them, Viviana’s father Eastern European descent makes her also part of her current home in Europe. The Netherlands is where her marital relationship brought her from Canada. It’s in Dutch land where she has lived the most and where she feels the most at home. Her birthplace, on the other hand, is San Angel. Once a beautiful valley between two volcanoes, one snowcapped and the other of fire in Mexico City.
