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 Martínez 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.
