...Enter the right panel of her new piece. A woman, capped in red kerchief, lifts a pallet of bricks off the ground. Her expression and features delineate strength. The image is the silk-screened representation of a photograph taken of a Soviet drawing. The drawing itself hints of propaganda art. Meanwhile, it represents the work done with bricks, Lemieux's own.

After Arslanian read the decision acquitting Galtieri and the others, Hebe de Bonafini, president of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo, angrily donned a white kerchief embroidered with the human rights group's mournful motto, MAY THE DISAPPEARED APPEAR ALIVE. When De Bonafini refused to remove the offending garment, the judge ordered her to leave the courtroom. "I had no other way of protesting but to put on my kerchief when I heard that the killers...
