Tendederos, the Spanish word for clotheslines, is a configuration and social construction of domestic space that happens throughout diverse landscapes around the world; in this case across Mexico, Panama, and Argentina. They permeate the sceneries with texture and color, but moreover they represent important social structures.
In many instances the tendederos work as gendered spaces, where the chores and areas pertain mainly, if not uniquely, to women. These areas have been socially and physically constructed based on gender roles where only women are expected to carry out domestic activities such as laundry, cleaning, and children care. The tendederos, are transformed into areas of interaction between women and children, and the appropriation of space results in the creation of elements that correspond to those interactions.
