MR4 is a performative intervention in the labour landscape of marginal areas of Mexico. For the MR4 project, Maquilas are re-imagined in the tradition of critical work by Fusco, Barrios, Arce, Werthein and other artist-activists. Maquilas are border town factories in which Mexico provides raw materials and cheap labour, mostly women, and the US provides management and ownership.
