Shoefiti as a Memorial in Argentina
Shoefiti has been used to memorialize the victims of a night club fire in Argentina:
last friday afternoon, we went on a trip with my spanish class to a memorial. Two years ago, there was a night club called Cromagnon that burnt down. The situation seemed similar to that of what happened at that Great White concert in Rhode Island but on a much larger scale. And because it is Argentina the whole situation was ridden with curruption. The emergency exit doors were locked to prevent kids from sneaking in, and the material used in the ceiling was extremely flamable. 196 people died and the boss of the night club was put in jail. The smemorial was really moving. the style was informal, there were 196 pairs of shoes hanging from a clothesline to represent all the young people who died.
