“Resisting the Present, Mexico 2000/2012” is an exhibition of some fifty works (installations, videos, drawings, photos and films) at The Musée d’Art moderne de la Ville de Paris, featuring Mexico's new generation of socially and politically engaged artists. (until July 8. 2012). Most of the artists in the show were born after 1975.

The artists in this exhibition come from different backgrounds (visual arts, cinema, documentary, etc.). They use various strategies ranging from poetic activism to examining Mexican problems (drugs war, criminality, corruption, identity, immigration and borders) to confronting an economic model in crisis and the climate of concern currently experienced by societies undergoing the challenges of globalization.
