Description:
The exhibition represents the mapping carried out by the Arkheia Documentation Center, MUAC-UNAM to generate a public repository around visualizations and HIV in Mexico. With the spread of the infection internationally, the virus became evident as a public health problem. In addition to being a medical and biological phenomenon, it represented a historical turning point at the end of the 20th century, as its circulation disrupted geographic, political, social, economic and cultural landscapes. Consisting of posters, artistic work, hemerography, event records and editorial projects, the exhibition brings together around 150 works that come from diverse artistic and documentary collections. Some of the participating artists are: Hilda Campillo, the Taller de Documentación Visual, Richard Moszka, Omar Gámez, Lorena Orozco, Óscar Sánchez Gómez, Armando Cristeto, Arturo Kemchs, Rolando de la Rosa, Hortensia Ramírez, José Antonio Cordero, Roberto de la Torre, Gabriel Figueroa Flores, 19 Concreto, Grupo de Choke y Olivier Debroise, amongst others.
