Featuring works by Doris Salcedo, Rafael Lozano-Hemmer, Teresa Margolles, Carlos Castro Arias, and Oscar Muñoz, Dr. Miramontes Olivas questions dictatorial governments, authoritarian tendencies, censorship, disappearance, and political repression. In artworks by Voluspa Jarpa, Luis Camnitzer, and Regina Jose Galindo the exhibit examines U.S. interventions in other countries and CIA backed-up regimes, while Valaria Tatera and other artists in the exhibit focus on gender violence, racism, and police brutality. The necroarchivos, a term introduced by Miramontes Olivas, highlight ubiquitous and hypervisible violence against bodies to demand justice and radical change in our communities.
