Visibility has been a key battleground for social movements such as feminism since the 1970s. In a socioeconomic landscape where the value and purpose of visibility vary according to gender, class, and race, it becomes even more urgent to critically investigate the mechanisms that organise it. By drawing from feminist and postcolonial theories, the article examines the negotiation of visibility in the artworks of Daniela Ortiz, Mayo Pimentel, and Liryc Dela Cruz. Through their work, these artists provide valuable insights into the aesthetic and political implications of in/visibility, particularly in relation to maintenance work, identified as a domain where these contradictions are most pronounced.
