Embroidery of Narcomessages
Joint activities in the city of Venice embroidering with gold threads the fabrics collected from execution sites in the north border of Mexico.

The embroidered phrases have been taken from the message that the organized crime uses in its executions:

See, hear and silence
Thus finish the rats

Until all your children fall
So that they learn to respect
