Tribute to the DisappearedCurated by Andrea Arroyo

Tribute to the Disappeared is an art project that honors the men and women disappeared in Mexico (from Juarez to Ayotzinapa), and other victims of violence and injustice around the world. Just as the AIDS Memorial Quilt brought attention to the AIDS epidemic, the project aims to bring public attention to another epidemic -that of innocent lives lost to injustice, war, poverty, and displacement. The project includes artwork related to forced disappearances, as well as non-literal disappearances, carried out through discrimination, injustice and violence.

Tribute to the Disappeared was co-founded by Andrea Arroyo after the disappearance of 43 youths from Ayotzinapa in Mexico’s state of Guerrero on September 26, 2014. The project has three public components: an on-line exhibition, a series of physical exhibitions and a series of community workshops. To date, over 300 international artists and 13 organizations and collectives are participating.

Her curatorial projects include “I Have a Dream-50 Years of Change”, “September 11-Past, Pres-ent, Future” and “AriZONA, Artists Respond to the Immigration Issue.”

Tributo a los Desaparecidos Curaduría por Andrea Arroyo

Tributo a los Desaparecidos es un proyecto en honor a los hombres y mujeres desaparecieron en México (desde Juárez a Ayotzinapa), y otras víctimas de la violencia y la injusticia en el mundo. Así como el AIDS Memorial Quilt llamó la atención sobre la epidemia del SIDA, el proyecto tiene como objetivo llamar la atención pública a otra epidemia, la pérdida de vidas inocentes ante la injusticia, guerra, pobreza y desplazamiento. El proyecto incluye obras de arte relacionadas con las desapariciones forza-das, así como las desapariciones no literales, llevadas a cabo a través de discriminación, injusticia y violencia.

Tributo a los Desaparecidos fue co-fundado por Andrea Arroyo después de la desaparición de 43 jóvenes de Ayotzinapa en el estado de Guerrero en México el 26 de septiembre de 2014. El proyecto tiene tres componentes comunes: una exposición en línea, una serie de exposiciones físicas y una serie de talleres comunitarios. Hasta la fecha, más de 300 artistas interna-cionales y 13 organizaciones y colectivos están participando.
