The Young Woman of Amajac

[1] The National Institute of Anthropology and History (INAH) considered it was similar to the Huastec's fertility goddess, Tlazōlteōtl, but did not dismiss it as being a representation of a member of the elite.

[7] The statue temporarily left the museum as it was sent back to Hidalgo Amajac, where it received a tribute in a cultural festival organized by its inhabitants.

[11] On 30 May 2023, a smaller sculpture similar to The Young Woman of Amajac was found in Álamo Temapache Municipality as a result of road construction.

[1][2] Later, city officials proposed installing Tlalli, an Olmec colossal head by Pedro Reyes, after receiving 5,000 signatures from indigenous women who asked to "decolonize Paseo de la Reforma".

[17] Days after the announcement of Tlalli, feminists intervened in the traffic circle and installed the Glorieta de las mujeres que luchan,[18] where Justicia, a purple sculpture of a woman raising her fist in the air, is placed on its empty pedestal.

[20] Following months of discussion, in February 2023, Sheinbaum declared that both the Glorieta de las mujeres que luchan and The Young Woman of Amajac would coexist in the traffic circle, while the Columbus sculpture would be relocated to the National Museum of the Viceroyalty, in Tepotzotlán, State of Mexico.

[21] The sculpture for The Young Woman of Amajac was originally planned as a 6-meter (20 ft) tall work whose expected cost was 7.5 million pesos (approximately 376,000 U.S.

[24] Batres inaugurated the sculpture on 23 July 2023, adding that, "Yes we could [...] from today it becomes a roundabout for the anti-colonialist struggle of indigenous peoples, communities and women".

[29] The installers of the Glorieta de las mujeres que luchan said, "Last night they placed the surprised Young Woman of Amajac, the cold stone statue that represents the former head of government[;] we cannot deny that they got that right".

[30] Blanca González Rosas wrote for Proceso that the replica of The Young Woman of Amajac "generates a visual dissonance that alters the landscape balance of the ring road" due to the size; its location "is a space of no practical use"; that being a copy, "its value as [...] an artwork is totally null"; and she regretted it creates a "differentiation of women by race and rank".
