In Colombia, Artist Renders Tons Of Rebel Guns Into Floor Tiles n.pr/2P6MwF9
"I wanted to invert the power relationship that a man carrying a gun has [by] having us Colombians being able to walk on the guns," Salcedo said.
To help make the floor tiles for the Bogotá museum,Salcedo recruited women who had been sexually assaulted by guerrillas,army soldiers or paramilitaries.
According to Colombia's National Center for Historical Memory,more than 15000 women and girls suffered from sexual assault during the war."As we hammered along they started telling me what kind of experiences they were hammering away. So it was a completely cathartic experience"
