La artista mexicana Mónica Mayer vuelve a poner en escena una performance de 1978 en la cual los visitantes reciben tarjetas impresas con preguntas sobre el cuerpo y las experiencias de las mujeres en espacios públicos. Los visitantes luego cuelgan sus respuestas escritas de un tendedero, una alusión a la tarea cotidiana de las mujeres.
