Art installation pays homage to Mexican women who were sterilized without consent at L.A. County-USC hospital
Unveiled in July 2022, ‘Sobrevivir’ which translates to “survive” in Spanish was commissioned by the LA County Board of Supervisors in 2018 to apologize to over 240 largely Mexican immigrant women who were forcibly sterilized at the hospital between 1968-1974. Designed by local artist, educator and mother, Phung Huynh, the artwork reflects the cultural heritage of the mothers. Huynh also specifically selected corten steel, a stable, durable weathered metal, as a symbol of the mothers’ strength, beauty and permanence. The artwork is open to the public and is located in a courtyard in front the hospital’s administrative building.
