Anne Daly interviews Irish artist Brian Maguire about his work in Juarez on the Mexican/US border where hundreds of women have been brutally tortured, murdered and 'disappeared' in a modern femicide without parallel. His work recently culminated in an exhibition called 'An Oasis of Horror in a Desert of Boredom' at the VISUAL in Carlow. On Sunday, Feb 24 a documentary film - Blood Rising - will be launched in Dublin's Savoy Cinema featuring Brian and his work in Mexico, as part of the Jameson Dublin International Film Festival.
