Seneca Falls, NY- Artist Andrea Arroyo will present her exhibit, "Tribute to the Disappeared," at Women's Rights National Historical Park from November 7 through December 31, 2015. The exhibit honors the thousands of men and women who have disappeared in Mexico, as well as other victims from around the world who have suffered injustice. "Tribute to the Disappeared" is an ongoing project started by Andrea Arroyo after the disappearance of forty-three Ayotzinapa youths, from the Mexican state of Guerrero on September 26, 2014. Just as the AIDS Memorial Quilt brought attention to the AIDS epidemic, this project aims to bring public attention to another epidemic;that of the countless innocent lives lost due to injustice, war, poverty and displacement. Over 200 international artists and thirteen organizations and collectives are participating in the project.
Women's Rights National Historical Park is open Wednesday through Sunday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
