In 1999, the writer Gail Simone noticed a disturbing trend: female characters in comics superheroes were constantly killed, raped, or suffered traumatic injuries as a way to further the plot development of the male characters. Simone created a website called Women in Refrigerators (WiR) to draw attention to the frequency of this circumstance in the industry.
The term “Women in Refrigerators” comes from a specific incident in Green Lantern Vol. 3 #54 (1994), where Kyle Rayner's girlfriend, Alexandra DeWitt, is murdered and stuffed into a refrigerator by the villain Major Force. This event serves as the catalyst for Kyle's transformation into the superhero. Green Lantern and serves as a means for her character development, while Alexandra's death is simply used as a narrative device, which is called "putting in the fridge" (fridging).
Gail Simone denounced the treatment of female characters in superhero comics.
He fridging It's used to motivate male characters or give them emotional depth, but it often does so at the expense of the agency and development of female characters. These women are often used as plot devices, and their suffering is used to further the male characters' stories rather than being treated as fully developed characters in their own right.
There are numerous examples of WiR in comics. On her website, Simone lists over 100 cases. Here are three notable ones:
1. In The Killing Joke, Barbara Gordon (Batgirl) is paralyzed by a shot from the Joker, who then proceeds to strip her naked and photograph her for
unhinge his father.
2. In The Night Gwen Stacy Died, the girlfriend of Spider-Man She is thrown off the Brooklyn Bridge by the Green Goblin, and dies when the hero tries to save her.
3. In Daredevil, Elektra She is killed by Bullseye with her own you know.
While both men and women in comics suffer attacks and humiliation, men tend to die heroic deaths, while women are killed in casual or sexualized ways. And only male characters are given the opportunity to return to their previous status with relative ease. While Batman It took a year to recover from a horrific spinal cord injury, Barbara Gordon spent a decade confined to a wheelchair.
Simone's list caused a stir and has made some writers conscious of the types of stories they produce. It has also led many fans and critics to call for more nuanced and complex representations of female characters in comics, with stories where they are treated with the same respect as male characters.

The Guatemalan architect and visual artist Jorge Luis Linares began a documentary investigation of sound, photography and digital video of the ravines surrounding Guatemala City, within the framework of the artistic residency of Guardabarranco House.
“Cliffs are the main lungs of the urban area, with their diverse flora and fauna; essential for the city's natural reserves. These ecosystems are threatened by humans, who contaminate them with solid waste dumps, vehicular roads, and other sources,” he noted.
“With these works, I seek to make visible and raise awareness among viewers of how our individual and collective behavior affects the immediate environment, in this case, primarily the ravines.” Jorge Luis Linares
The artist has worked on themes such as: Environmental, visual and auditory pollution, Vehicle load, Main bridges, Vehicular arteries and Population growth in Guatemala City.
“Linares delves into an experiential investigation of these vestiges of nature, which population growth has segmented around the city. Through the use of digital media, he creates immersive environments that invite the viewer to experience a sensorial experience with the help of sounds, shapes, and colors of the so-called urban lungs,” wrote Andrés Cordón in the curatorial text.
