Workshops arranged in London and now in Liverpool

This week I am in UK arranging workshops for Desconocida, preparing for the exhibition in London and Liverpool in September. I was able to come thanked to generous support from the Norwegian Embassy in London. Two workshops were held in London on Monday and Tuesday, both well attended and I think they both created important conversations over the topic. Today I arrived in Liverpool and have had one workshop this afternoon at Victoria Gallery and Museum. Tomorrow there will be another one from 2 - 4 PM. Welcome!

As I came home to the hotel I found a message from Marisela Ortiz, founder of Nuestras Hijas de Regreso a Casa with a link to an article in El Diario, MX. The article is in Spanish. I have copied a google translation of it here. The important message is that representatives from the mothers of the victims in Ciudad Juarez are meeting representatives from the Government in Mexico City...
Can something happen?
