Zapatos Rojos
Red Shoes

#ZapatosRojos or #RedShoes is an art project realized by the Mexican artist #ElinaChauvet. It deals with a city route which consists in lots of pairs of red or red-painted shoes to commemorate the many cases of #ViolenceAgainstWomen in the whole world. In particular, her first work was realized in #CiudadJuarez, the border city between #Mexico and the #UnitedStates, where for the first time it was used the expression “ #femicide ”.

Wouldn’t we just. Like the response we had when a couple of young men were killed with coward punches. We changed laws, ruined livelihoods and impacted whole industries and suburbs. We can do it, we (not just governments but as a whole society) choose not too because women and children aren’t important enough. #ViolenceAgainstWomen
