A Feminist Movement Sparks a Preservation Initiative

December 2019, an “Ofrenda de Muertos” (a traditional Mexican memorial altar created to honor and remember those who have passed away) was organized to pay respects to Sonia, a university professor murdered by her husband. The memorial became the catalyst for a broader feminist student movement demanding justice, accountability, and institutional measures against gender-based violence. This moment marked the beginning of a process that would later inspire the creation of Huellas Incómodas.
