I am delighted to be included in Sarabande’s 2024 International Women’s Day exhibition curated by Shirin Fathi. The exhibition includes works from Sarabande 2024 artists and alumni. For the occasion, I created a new artwork from my Family Album series depicting my best friend from childhood Leticia, who died in November 2023 as a victim of domestic violence. With this artwork, I wanted to celebrate the life of my friend and bring attention to violence against women as a quiet but omnipresent reality affecting 1 in 3 women in the world according to a 2018 analysis from the World Health Organization.
