Nuevo Mundo, Ep. 08 - Mexico

Juan Tamayo | Documentary, Series

2020 | 53 minutes | Chile

In Mexico, urban art becomes a fighting cry, making violence and daily tragedies visible in public spaces.

Synopsis

Mexico, the cradle of Latin American muralism, has long been a country where public space serves as both canvas and battlefield. Today, this space is divided between real and symbolic wars, each competing for control of its narrative. In the midst of this tension, street art, in all its forms, has become a powerful means of resistance and reflection. The murals and graffiti capture the harsh realities of a nation in crisis, where daily violence, disappearances and deaths are often relegated to the margins of public consciousness. These visual expressions refuse to allow such tragedies to be erased, and instead bring them to the forefront, creating a space for dialogue and protest.

In this episode, we delve into how Mexican street art transforms public space into a monument and a critique, a place where the past and the present collide, and where art becomes both an act of struggle and a strategy of visibility in a country that struggles with its darkest realities.
