Summary

1. To document with photographs an act of twenty-first-century barbarity: that is the goal of Argentine photographer Marcelo Brodsky with his call for visual actionʺ on behalf of Ayotzinapa. As Brodskyœs own brother is one of the young people who disappeared, the images gathered in the exhibition reflect the fury, pain, and impotence of the parents and relatives. Acción Visual por Ayotzinapa, launched by Argentine photographer Marcelo Brodsky from the Colegio Nacional de Buenos Aires and seconded by the Centro de Derechos Humanos de la Montaña Tlachinollan, mobilized dozens of collectives in Italy, Argentina, Chile, Germany, France, Japan, India, Bangladesh, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay, Canada, Switzerland, France, Colombia, Costa Rica, the United States, and Mexico. It consisted of a simple act of solidarity with the struggle of the relatives of the forty-three kidnapped students of the rural school in Ayotzinapa; Guerrero, that of being photographed with the slogan that has sustained them in their struggle: Vivos se los llevaron, Vivos los queremos (They were taken alive, we want them back aliveœ)--Publisher.
