I have read about it in MAGAZINE NAME , it caught my attention because I felt it has a meaning, a message to it.
The Norwegian artist, Lise Bjorne Linnert, research and based her exhibition about the Maquilladoras in Cuidad Juarez in Mexico.
the Maquilladoras job consists in working for Western companies that employs Mexican worker on low wages to do mostly, night shifts. The majority of the workers are women and they are prone to kidnapping, rape and torture.
"It is the cruel picture of the dark side of globalization, corruption and in-balance between the people of power and money and the huge population of poor in desperate need of jobs."
Lise Bjorne Linnert used sound, film and thread to represent this injustice. she created workshops where all the participants create name tags by stitch the victims name on pieces of fabric, some of them called:"unknown" as they are many of them that are not recognized.
