A work of art that I have made

Hello everyone, today i'm going to talk about a work of art that i did in the past year. The name of this work was "14 de junio de 1977" an investigation about the first hunger strike of relatives of missing prisioners. performed in the C.E.P.A.L building in Santiago, 1977.
The work was exhibited in the museo de la memoria of Santiago.
with a group of colleagues collected the testimonies of the relatives who were still alive. besides, we investigated all the information that contained in the files of the Museo de la memoria. we work for a full year, intervewieng people, also raising founds to build the project.
We exhibited pictures of the documents and relatives In the museum hall. Besides, in other hall we built many black pillars that contained inside the voice of relatives of the missing prisioners. on the other hand, we wrote few fragments of letter that they received during the strike.
I really like this work because i had never worked so long in a project, besides this project allowed me to meet wonderful people and complex histories.
Even if i think that work with topics related to military dictatorship can be difficult because is very easy to fall into a pamphleteer work. this work was a positive piece, because thank to this all the relatives could meet again.
The most important thing of this work was that we could recognize the work of fighting that made a lot of womens, between them mothers, wives and daughters in Chile.
