Violence against women, as well as the violence experienced in Guatemala during the 36-year armed conflict, are of interest to Lagunas. Apart from "Femicidio in Guatemala", the artist has created a number of pieces honoring and denouncing the prevalence of violence against women in the country, including "In Memoriam" (2007), and "Para que nos recuerdes mejor". With "120 minutos de silencio" (2008), a performance for which Lagunas cut shapes from a 40,00-yard piece of camouflage fabric, as well as with "Deshilando el miedo" (2010–12), Lagunas condemns the violent acts committed by the Guatemalan state during the civil war.
