MOTILLA CHAVEZ, José Antonio. Scratch the museums, defend the memory: a position against hate speech. Ñawi [online]. 2022, vol.6, n.2, pp.251-271. ISSN 2588-0934.  https://doi.org/10.37785/nw.v6n2.a14.

The objective of this essay is to analyze the dispute caused by the mural Proud girls by the illustrator Javier Medellín Pouyou "Jilipollo", in the exhibition Neomuralismo San Luis Potosí of the Museum of Contemporary Art of San Luis Potosí, Mexico, and the response and indignation expressed by different sectors of the population. The work in question makes a direct allusion to the North American neo-fascist and supremacist movement Proud Boys. We seek to understand how and under what conditions a discourse based on violence and hate manages to be placed in a public museum and be claimed by its author, the institution and the actors involved in the exhibition. Given this situation, we seek to understand how the action of various sectors of civil society, mobilized by indignation at such discourses, manages to challenge the positions of both the artist and the institution, by questioning and disarming the museum's discourse.
