The work, 'Mil Veces un Instante (A Thousand Times in an Instant)' by Mexican artist Teresa Margolles, serves as a powerful tribute to trans lives amidst pressing societal violence.
Arranged around the plinth, the 850 plaster casts symbolize grief, slowly eroding in the damp British weather, reflecting both the transient nature of life and ongoing struggles.
Margolles's sculpture highlights Mexico's alarming murder rates for trans individuals and serves as a poignant reminder of the violence faced by gender-diverse communities in the UK.
Unveiling on September 18, this installation is a statement against transfeminicide, aiming to raise awareness about the violence that marginalized identities continue to endure.
