... that antimonumentas in Mexico, like the one in Guadalajara(pictured), Morelia, or Mexico City, are installed by protesters to demand justice for women who suffer from violence in the country? Source: "Para las personas que no lo sepan, los antimonumentos son instalaciones que se colocan en marchas y protestas sociales como una forma de recordar la injusticia perpetrada contra un grupo de víctimas, así como el fracaso por parte del Estado para resolver de manera justa estos casos y evitar que sigan ocurriendo; se habla de antimonumentas para el caso de la violencia feminicida. Estas instalaciones son símbolos que surgen en clara oposición a la idea tradicional de monumento, que es erigido por autoridades para representar un discurso oficial."
["For those who do not know, antimonumentos are installations that are placed in demonstrations and social protests as a way to remember the injustice perpetrated against a group of victims, as well as the failure on the part of the State to resolve these cases in a just manner and prevent them from continuing to occur; we speak of antimonumentas in the case of feminicidal violence. These installations are symbols that emerge in clear opposition to the traditional idea of a monument, which is erected by authorities to represent an official discourse."] (Revista de la Universidad de México).
Comment: Adding a review structure here, so multiple people can collaborate on this review (four articles is quite a few). If you choose to take an article, feel free to restructure the insides of that one however you wish. I tried implementing a table, but for some reason the subpage does not like that. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (she/they) 10:06, 3 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Long enough: Yes (2668 characters)
Sourced: Technically yes, but not in the actual sentence discussing the women's protests; the reference has to be moved/duplicated there for DYK purposes. Yes

Comment. Traditionally, I always credit the creator of recently-created pages I expand. If the credit is not required/valid, feel free to remove it. (CC)Tbhotch™18:39, 7 February 2022 (UTC)Reply

Suggest page rename to Antimonumento or Antimonumentos of Mexico. Despite the similarity in name to Antimonument, it is a distinct artistic concept with a different history and a different meaning. This is not a value judgement, it is simply acknowledging it is a different thing. Antimonumentos - mainly in Mexico - are always installed ala guerrilla sculpture or protest sculpture and are installed as activism, always – as I have seen documented – addressing or reminding a specific political issue that is painful and under-discussed. Thus their anti-ness refers to their content and method of installation, and not the sculptural. Antimonuments are always, to my knowledge, officially commissioned through whatever authorities and deal with the form of the art work. That is, they challenge the formal considerations of what a monument has meant historically. So for example instead of a larger than life conquering general on a horse, the viewer experiences a descent into a space, like with the Vietnam Memorial or the National Memorial for Peace and Justice. The anti-ness there is a formal and conceptual difference. While I appreciate the efforts of the authors, as it stands now it is very confusing. The confusion is added to by the abundance of articles on Latin American protest sculptures using Antimonument as a sort of generic title of the article. I would also suggest that the paragraph on origins be reduced and qualified as remote predecessor, as again it is not directly referring to the contents of this article.
