Antimonumenta (Mexico City)

The sculpture was symbolically named Antimonumenta and has since inspired similar anti-monuments throughout the country, including the one in Guadalajara, Jalisco and the one in Morelia, Michoacán.

The installation of the structure lasted more than two hours, and it was paid for by relatives of victims of femicide, feminist collectives and civil society organizations.

[a] After its installation, group members organized a sit-in around the Antimonumenta during the following days, to guarantee its protection and prevent its removal by the city's police.

[4] Days later, women's collectives against femicide and violence launched a petition on Change.org addressed to the president of the country, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, the mayor of the city, Claudia Sheinbaum, the Office in Mexico of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (UN-HCHR); and UN Women Mexico, so that the Antimonumenta would not be removed.

[2][5] On the night of 24 November 2020, during the eve of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, relatives of victims of femicide gathered and demonstrated at the Antimonumenta, closing Juárez Avenue for approximately one hour.
