Monuments Toolkit Webinar : The Conservation of Divisive Monuments

The Angel of Independence, or El Ángel de la Independencia, was erected in 1910 to celebrate the centenary of the commencement of the War of Independence. A series of protests in 2019 brought greater awareness to the growing rate of violent crimes against women, or feminicide. Although it is not innately oppressive, its presence and significance in Mexico City was transformed by the intervention of protestors. After the multifaceted monument had been graffitied on August 16th, city government officials campaigned to restore it and erase the messages left by protestors. In response, the conservation community unionized to deny any attempts at restoration until their demands were met towards the recognition of feminicide by the city government. In this webinar, the Monuments Toolkit expands on this conversation with the help of our wonderful guests.
