Luis A. Gutierrez’s mixed-media installation uses hand-sewn layers of oil-painted canvases, and screen-printed images to delve into the story of United Fruit Company workers in Colombia in 1928. Visitors can move through the installation’s nine hanging sections, which represent the nine demands made by the banana plantation workers to improve their working conditions during a strike that led to their massacre by the Colombian Army. For the artist, their demands represent the ongoing fight of the working class for fundamental human rights and against the damaging effects of imperialism. This installation aims to create a bridge between the past and present by presenting this history of labor abuse in the absence of unions.
