CIUDAD JUAREZ

Crossing the Santa Fe bridge into Mexico, we see this mural on the Juarez side of the Rio Grande, by artist and printmaker Jorge "Yorch" Perez:



This mural is based on a print that Yorch had made previously about the bridge (see below). Note the female factory worker on the right -- Yorch says that most of the workers in the maquiladoras are women:

The Rio Grande mural is based on Yorch's print of the US/MEXICO bridge --
Javi Nopales bought this print in 2017
