The Decent Women on Street 58

17 Sept - 11 Dec 2016

The exhibition is based on the life of a group of Mexican women from a particular street. Their work as prostitutes aims to create a financial basis for their children’s lives. An anthropologist has led the project and wants to achieve a step beyond the traditional stigma that follows prostitutes. The renowned Mexican artist Gabriel Ramirez interprets the lives of the women in 22 drawings. The Mexican textile artist Elena Martinez created 30 embroidered portraits.
