Crack Rodríguez, La Comadre Ja ja ja and CISPES (Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador) united in a powerful public performance that interlaced collective memory, political resistance, and transnational solidarity into a shared cultural act. Crack, known for site-responsive installations and evocative performance, confronts the fractures created by systemic injustice. CISPES brings over forty years of grassroots organizing rooted in economic justice, gender equity, and anti-imperialist struggles across the Americas.

Together, they presented a mobile art exhibition and live performance—a vibrant call against the erasure of those suffering under El Salvador’s “State of Exception.” The installation features butterfly motifs and the names of over 350 lives lost under the current regime. La Comadre Ja ja ja ascends on a unicycle, embodying a towering butterfly as a call to attention, inviting the public to engage with his performance and the installation to help make visible what has long been hidden. This collaboration asks the public to pause, to witness, and to hold space for the truths hidden from behind boarder walls.
