Cuaderno de Tareas is a weekly, not year-specific, planner for invisible and unpaid labor, drawn from the unrealized vision of Mexican artist and activist Ana Victoria Jiménez and re-imagined by andrea ancira and Nina Hoechtl. While the planner addresses unseen labor, the book itself makes hidden work visible. It is intentionally left unfinished: untrimmed, uncovered, and raw.
[read more] Cuaderno de Tareas is an invitation to time travel, offering a passage through reproductive labor, protest, and archival memory drawn from Ana Victoria’s time-spanning archive of feminist protest in Mexico. Throughout its pages, the phrases and slogans of feminist demonstrations reappear as persistent reminders of ongoing cycles of violence, and of the enduring resistance against them. At the heart of the publication are photographs from Ana Victoria’s same named series Cuaderno de Tareas, which affirm the dignity and political power of the repetitive, relational work that defines care labor. Through its unfinished appearance, the planner itself exposes the unseen labor of bookmaking and asks the reader to cut open its sealed pages.
Originally conceived by Ana Victoria Jiménez in the 1980s for Colectivo Atabal, a civil association dedicated to recognizing and valuing housework, the project was never realized due to limited resources—until now.
On November 23, 2025, Ana Victoria Jiménez passed away.
Today, we honor how her legacy lives on in every act of resistance that draws strength from memory, and in every living archive that, like hers, helps us unlearn the imposed and imagine a world otherwise.
