Resting Bench to Meditate in Antigua

Resting Bench to Meditate in Antigua

After having spent a slow afternoon going over every little piece at the “Los Desaparecidos” Exhibit (The Disappeared) now showing at the Compañí­a de Jesús Building, I needed a place to seat down and meditate. I don’t think I am going to be at peace for a while. 🙁

Disappeared/Desaparecidos is a verb turned into noun to indicate those who were kidnapped, tortured and assassinated during the recent military dictorships in Latin America.

This exhibit compiles the work of 25 Latin American artists who have created works of art originated from the subject of the forced disappearances throughout the last 30 years. (Freely translated from the poster below; please excuse the bad English translation)
