Cleaning up Justice, 2019

This performatic action is the sketch of another work yet to be performed that includes a call to the citizenry. It was done based a series of political scandals in the country and as a reaction to this the people demonstrated in front of the Palace of Justice in Panama. The artist took advantage of the initial silence of the demonstration to clean (for 4 hours) the steps of the Palace of Justice, as well as every door and window on the façade of the complex. This gesture not only implies a physical action but also a symbolic one, by cleaning windows through which no light had entered for years. The intervention is energetic, non-violent and joins the peaceful demonstration in the public space, through the daily action of cleaning. Everyday objects, interceded to become “anti-corruption liquid”, and clothes that speak only to those who listen with the history of Panamanian resistance in mind.
