Your Capitalism is Fucking Killing Us
Series of six hand-embroidered mixed media artworks - in production 2026
Created in collaboration with sociologist Jasmin Hristov, drawing on her extensive work with Mexico’s FNLS (Frente Nacional de Lucha por el Socialismo); read more about her work and our collaboration here, this series reimagines public images of disappeared Indigenous members of FNLA as a monument to their collective grief. By using AI technology with traditional hand-embroidery, six otherwise silent portraits are transformed into active, piercing screams. The work provides a space for the disappeared to return and confront a world that has long ignored their brutalization. It is an intentional invocation of horror and shame, urging audiences in the Global North to confront our own complicity.
