11AM SLT -- Opening of Artistide Despres's Art Installation, Deaths of Juarez -- Four Bridges North

Over 420 women were raped and killed mysteriously in Ciudad Juárez, a Mexican border city of the United States. None of these crimes has yet been solved. The local government, apparently overwhelmed by the magnitude of these events, has thrown up its hands. Security measures and protection for women are conspicuous by their absence. And in response, women are mobilizing once again.
