Tribute to the Disappeared Curated 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 online 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. About Artist and Curator Andrea Arroyo Andrea Arroyo is an award-winning artist with an extensive trajectory, her artwork is exhibited and published internationally. Her curatorial projects include “I Have a Dream-50 Years of Change”, “September 11-Past, Present, Future” and “AriZONA, Artists Respond to the Immigration Issue.” About Mano a Mano: Mexican Culture Without Borders Mano a Mano: Mexican Culture Without Borders is a New York-based non-profit organization 501(c)(3) dedicated to celebrating Mexican culture and promoting the understanding of Mexican traditions. About The Malcolm X & Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center The Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz Memorial and Educational Center honors the lives and legacies of Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz by continuing the work of Al Hajj Malik, Malcolm X, and Dr. Betty Al-Shabazz through the advancement of human rights and social justice.
