Israel Martínez: Resounding Roar

Part of Errant Bodies' Doormats series, Resounding Roar takes aim at the corruption of the Mexican government.

"And may the Earth tremble at its core, at the resounding roar of the cannon," so ends the initial verse of the Mexican national anthem. Nowadays that resounding roar should be directed towards the corruption of an elite class that has kidnapped the country. Resounding Roar takes aim at a government that does not govern for the people, but for corporate interests and international agreements that only benefit a few. The sound and visual artist Israel Mart nez reflects on the present state of Mexico and its regime of narco-politics through artistic works, interviews, notes, images and collaborations with fellow writers, curators, activists and artists that have influenced or accompanied him throughout his artistic practice over the last years. Resounding Roar is a polyphonic work of creative resistance.
Contributors include: Mariana Ampudia, M nica Arreola, Ver nica Gerber Bicecci, Adela Goldbard, Vicente Guti rrez, Diego Mart nez, Cuauht moc Medina and Sandra S nchez.
