 » In Italy a woman is murdered every seventy-two hours. As in many other countries in the world, the monster of feminicide is present and generates a terrible drama in the reality of the country.
For twelve hours I remain invisible, hidden behind a false wall from which I play the Morse key to ask for help. An emergency call upon the alarming figures of violence suffered by women in Italy. »

The trial against Ríos Montt took place in 2013 and he was sentenced for genocide to 80 years. His sentence was short-lived as a few days after the verdict, the conviction was overturned.

 

Culpable (Guilty) is a sound sculpture, presented in the public space on Sunday, May 10, 2015, two years after the conviction. Culpable is an acknowledgement to the people who brought Ríos Montt to trial and is an affirmation of his guilt, of his conviction, it is an affirmation of the truth.

sound document

“Sound performance in which 41 women locked ourselves in a small room and screamed for nine minutes in memory of the 41 girls murdered in the Virgen de la Asunción Shelter.

On March 8, 2017, 56 girls who were in the care of the State were locked in a small room as punishment for having tried to escape. After hours of confinement, a fire started inside the room and the authorities did not open
the door. The girls screamed for nine minutes as they burned alive and the authorities would not let them out.”
