Presencia (Presence), Karen Lissette Fuentes
by Regina José Galindo

Following similar actions in Guatemala City, the artist wears the dress of a murdered woman. The dress was lent by her family, which keeps the memory of their loved-one alive through this garment.

“Presence is a performance project drawing from the energy of these women, the silenced. In this way, we want to claim them, talk about them, and honor their lives.”
