Statement
The work of Sandra Ramos illustrates her views of the political and social contemporary context in her country and worldwide. Ramos takes elements and recognizable characters from political cartoons to comment humorously about a very dared reality. Although it is an autobiographical work in many ways, it relates to a generational position, provoking dialogue among private and public, personal and collective memories.
