🏟️ Antimonumento +72

Antimonumento +72 is an anti-monument located on the sidewalk opposite the (then) Embassy of the United States in Mexico City, on Paseo de la Reforma in the borough of Cuauhtémoc. The steel work comprises a white number 72 and a red plus symbol, placed on a white pedestal with images of doves and the phrases "Migration is a human right" and "No one is illegal in the world" in Spanish. The sculpture was dedicated to the seventy-two migrants murdered in 2010 in the village of El Huizachal, in the municipality of San Fernando, Tamaulipas, after being detained by the drug cartel Los Zetas. The artwork was never given an official name; its installers referred to it simply as Antimonumento. The plus symbol also carries the meaning of honoring migrants who disappeared or were murdered during their crossing.
