It is an event that has rocked Mexico and will likely be remembered as a dark chapter in the country’s history. The disappearance of 43 students from the Ayotzinapa rural teachers college in the southern state of Guerrero – who were last seen on Sept. 26 after they were abducted by police with links to a drug cartel – has provoked an outpouring of anger and frustration from some Mexicans, including many artists. In this video, painter Jesus Anaya explains what inspired him to paint a portrait of each of the missing students in a public square in the city of Chilpancingo, the capital of Guerrero. What do you think?
