"We make our own monsters, then fear them for what they show us about ourselves"
MIKE CAREY, The Unwritten

"Hacemos nuestros propios monstruos, luego les tememos por lo que nos muestran sobre nosotros mismos"
MIKE CAREY, Lo no escrito


The concept of monstrosity is an ambiguous one that has shifted and changed it's shape with time and location. However to most, monsters have become associated with fear, ir perhaps even an uncomfortable anxiety. In many ways, they have become physical and conceptual embodiments of the things we fear most as individuals and even societies. Mexican Monstrosity is a curated exhibit which displays and analyzes the "monsters," in a historically chronological order, found in Mexican society.
