the street is our gallery

Jupiterfab recently created 3 artworks on the walls of the Student Union of the University of Guadalajara in Mexico.
The artwork is about the “desaparecidos” (missing) students in Mexico, in collaboration with the Student Union of University of Guadalajara .

In Mexico, this remains a huge problem that is trying to be covered. Everyday, young people are kidnapped by narcos to use them as slaves or to train them as killers. At the moment there are approx 17.000 young people (less than 29 years) missing and not a single person is in prison for any of these felonies.

The piece wants to remember these kids, the families and mothers’ pain and the importance of standing up to fight for things to change.
