Juan Manuel Sandoval und Diego Sandoval Ávila
Codex von Ayotzinapa, 2014
The anthropologist Juan Manuel Sandoval works at the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City. His son Diego Sandoval Ávila is a visual artist (they live and work in Mexico City). Working with a group of children, they drew the Codex of Ayotzinapa in the tradition of pre-Hispanic illuminated manuscripts. Since 2015, it has been exhibited once a month in the museum to commemorate the murder of 43 indigenous students from Ayotzinapa by the police and a drug cartel. This exposition represents a demand by Sandoval and Ávila that this state-sponsored crime be solved. The narrative of the codex links pre-Hispanic, colonial-era and current acts of cruel injustice.
