exhibition / Symposium
Opening Reception October 16, 2009, 6-8 pm
Exhibition runs through February 14, 2010
The Rubín and Paula Torres Gallery and The Kraft Gallery
Since 1993, more then 500 women have been killed
in Ciudad Juárez in the northern Mexican state of
Chihuahua. For some time now, Mexican and Mexican
American artists have been sensitive to the subject
of Women of Juarez and have worked on diverse
projects to share their perspective on this disturbing
situation. The thought provoking pieces throughout
the exhibition serve as a chronicle of the struggles of
Mexican women and the grievous deaths in Ciudad
Juárez. By generating awareness, the artwork supports
the cause of the victims’ families who search for justice
and truth. The artists of Rastros y Crónicas compel the
viewer to comprehend and sympathize with what the
victims endured and what the living continue to face.
In this way, our generation and future generations will
not forget or ignore the loss of life in Ciudad Juárez.
¡Ni UNA MÁS!
Desde 1993, más de 500 mujeres han sido asesinadas
en Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, México. En esta
exposición, artistas mexicanas y méxico-americanas se
reúnen para dar una perspectiva personal de un asunto
tan inquietante. No podemos permitir que nuestra
generación o futuras generaciones ignoren u olviden la
perdida de tantas vidas en Ciudad Juárez.
