Dedicated toViolence against women in Mexico

An antimonumenta was installed next to the Fuente de las Tarascas, along Francisco I. Madero Avenue [es] in Morelia, Michoacán, on 8 March 2021, the date commemorating International Women's Day, during the annual march of women protesting against gender violence. The sculpture, symbolically named Antimonumenta, was inspired by other similar anti-monuments like the one in Mexico City. The erection of an antimonumenta symbolizes the demand for justice for women who suffer from violence in the country.[1]

The original work was destroyed a few hours after its installation. A replica was installed the following month.[2]
