From 16 to 19 October, the Espacio de Igualdad Carme Chacón of the Madrid City Council (Calle Matapozuelos, 2) will host the art installation She’s gone, in protest against gender violence by Israeli artist Keren Goldstein (pictured).
The inauguration will take place on Tuesday 17 October at 11.30 am and will be attended by the Israeli ambassador, Rodica Radian-Gordon, the delegate of the Government Area of Social Policies, Family and Equality, José Fernández Sánchez, Ana Orantes (daughter) and the curator of the exhibition, Keren Goldstein.
She’s gone is an installation of garments turned into a silent testimony of significant lives, full of hope and dreams that were abruptly and violently taken away from them by their partners. The garments of 22 women murdered by their husbands or partners, from various parts of the world and from different social classes, make up this exhibition, which carries in its folds the story of pain, absence and the orphanhood of their testimonies.
Among them is, for the first time, the garment with which Ana Orantes made her testimony public on television, and which from now on will be added to the rest of the garments in the installation as another plea against gender violence.
The curator Keren Goldstein is an Israeli activist and documentary filmmaker who actively collaborates with public and private institutions, working on projects to raise awareness of gender violence. These institutions include the Israeli Ministry of Education, the Israeli Security Forces and numerous art galleries around the world.
