This panel, moderated by Professor Alicia Gaspar de Alba, honors Women’s History Month and remembers the femicides in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. Panelists, including artists Judithe Hernandez and Alma Lopez, will discuss art's role in activism against gendered violence. Faculty from law, social sciences, and humanities will respond. This panel, moderated by and held in conjunction with Professor Alicia Gaspar de Alba’s UCLA research seminar of the same name, revisits the over 30-year crime wave of femicides/feminicidios—the kidnappings, serial sex crimes, and horrific murders of poor young Mexican, Central American, and indigenous women and girls—in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, across the border from the professor’s hometown of El Paso, Texas. Looking at the representations of these femicides in art and literature, the panelists, including artists Judithe Herandez and Alma Lopez, will discuss the uses of art as activism to raise consciousness about this continuing lethal gendered violence that has already claimed the lives of thousands of innocent women and girls on the U.S.–Mexico border. Invited UCLA faculty in law, social sciences, and the humanities will serve as respondents in this two-part discussion. This program is co-sponsored by the César E. Chávez Department of Chicana/o Studies and The Promise Institute for Human Rights
