The limits of transnational women's solidarity in Mexico City's art scene

The protests at Muac and Museo Tamayo highlight a troubling pattern in Mexico City’s arts scene, where foreign women artists are faced with allegations of exploitation.

After both protests, the respective museums opted for censorship, indicating a lack of support for the artists and a retreat from artistic freedom.

These incidents showcase a growing tension in Mexico between the desire for progressive art expressions and the societal backlash against them.
