400 Women is a conceptual installation work by artist Tamsyn Challenger utilising a mass collaboration with nearly 200 artists including Paula Rego, Tracey Emin, Swoon, Maggi Hambling and Humphrey Ocean in response to the brutal murders of more than 400 women over a decade in the US border town of Ciudad Juárez and the region of Chihuahua in Mexico.
