With Gratitude
Much of the curatorial text for this exhibit is extracted from ‘The Disappeared’ by John Gibler, which first appeared in the January 4, 2015 issue of The California Sunday Magazine. Additional information came from Gibler‘s book, I Couldn’t Imagine That They Would Kill Us: An Oral History of the Attacks Against the Students of Ayotzinapa (2017). Minor edits to that content have been made for brevity. We thank Mr. Gibler and The California Sunday Magazine for their generous assistance.
Anayansi Diaz-Cortes and Kate Doyle explored many of the recent developments in After Ayotzinapa, the radio program produced by Reveal Investigations. Additional information emerged from New York Times reporters Oscar Lopez, Emiliano Rodriguez Mega, Natalie Kitroedd, and Ronen Bergman.
Historical information about the Mexico’s rural normales school system was drawn from Tanalís Padilla’s Unintended Lessons of the Revolution (2021).
The text and quotes that accompany each of the 43 figures comes from various published news reports and, most extensively, http://ayotzinapasomostodos.com. Minor edits of text were made for brevity, clarity and more accurate translation.
Photos and illustrations accompanying the curatorial cards were drawn from a variety of news sources. The image of the red hand that accompanies the 43 figures is drawn from photographs of mass protests that followed the disappearance. The bus graphic used on “The Fifth Bus” card was created by Danny Aguilera to as part of the After Ayotzinapa series.
We gratefully acknowledge Jan Nimmo for her generosity in sharing the portraits of the 43 students on display in the Eccles.
