GC: Missing Persons
My weekly Gallery Crawl plug features the street performance of Lina Rodriguez and Rita Kamacho.
Isolated Voices is a haunting installation that commemorates the hundreds of women who have been murdered in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico in the last 12 years.
Since 1993 nearly 400 female maquiladora workers have been murdered in Ciudad Juárez and an equal number are believed missing. Juárez, just across the Rio Grande from El Paso, Texas, is home to more than 380 maquiladora factories, which are owned by U.S and European companies and operate in tax-free zones.
Many everyday products we take for granted such as our clothes and cars are produced in maquiladora factories and then exported out of México to the U.S. and Canada.
