Fond Visualities and HIV in Mexico
This research project proposes alternative re-readings of HIV / AIDS as a social, medical, political, economic and emotional phenomenon and its impact on cultural production in Mexico since 1983. The collection contains works by visual artists, newspaper cuttings and other media materials, literary and scientific publications from civil associations, medical, educational and governmental institutions. Its intention is to sketch out a critical, open and growing panorama through the plurality of visual productions, the intersection of lines of study, voices and contexts of different times and places.
Fond Visualities and Social Mobilization
We created a plural and heterogeneous collection focused on social movements comprising posters, newspapers, anonymous banners, artistic and graphic works, as well as photographs of artists, designers, activists and militants. As a collective exercise against the erasure of social memory, the collection appeals to the political demands raised in Mexico in the last ten years, for example, the disappearance of the 43 students of the Rural Normal School Raúl Isidro Burgos in Ayotzinapa. The story, always fragmentary and partial, is strengthened thanks to generous donations.
