Cette artiste mexicaine utilise son art pour dénoncer la violence liée au narcotrafic qui a fait énormément de victimes – souvent des femmes – dans diverses villes d’Amérique latine. L’une des matières premières qu’elle utilise? Des résidus récoltés à la morgue. Pour avoir un aperçu de son travail, rendez-vous au Musée d’art contemporain [@macmontreal] où ses œuvres sont présentées dans le cadre l’exposition Mundos, jusqu’au 14 mai prochain. Irez-vous la voir? ” ???? : Michel Labrecque #art #teresamargolles #musee #museum #mexique #mexico #montreal #mtl #exposition #exhibition #exhibit #repost #macmontreal #artcontemporain #ciudadjuarez #latinamerica #museumgram #instamuseum : @radiocanadainfo
