FORGOTTEN: WOMEN OF JUAREZ PODCAST
In the border city of Ciudad Juárez, hundreds of women have gone missing. The ones
that are found have strange symbols carved on their bodies, some have their wrists
bound with shoelaces. All are discarded like garbage. The story of Forgotten investigates
theories about what or who is responsible—a serial killer, organ traffickers, a Satanic
Cult—and pursues an investigation with law enforcement on both sides of the border,
terrified witnesses and corrupt authorities.

from the Smithsonian American Art Museum's pioneering collection of Latino art. It
explores how Latino artists shaped the artistic movements of their day and recalibrated
key themes in American art and culture.
