Powerful FIC exhibit:: Danos colaterales at Museo de Pueblo

This multifaceted exhibit was made up of sections with a double thread running through them, either assaults on identity.or other forms of cruelty. The last photo shows one panel of a two sided screen portraying the glory of Tenochtitlan and the Spaniards' slaughter of the inhabitants. A powerful work (not shown) was the stark photo of a drowned kitten taken by Claudia Reyes..The photos by the German photographer Walter Reuter, who loved his new country , provided a brief respite from the other works shown.

Refugee Reuter left his bitterness behind in the Old World, grateful that Mexico provided a haven

                                         At the entrance to the exhibit, a seemingly innocuous set of seven blankets had covered corpses of Mexicans who died violent deaths.
The wooden sculpture we saw next resonated frighteningly with Amat Escalante's film Heli.
