Brigadas de Busqueda is part of Acto de Memoria (July 2021) a series of virtual talks, and an art installation that shades light to the phenomena of forced disappearance in Mexico and how this is intertwine with gun smuggling, sex trafficking and the drug market in the USA. The focus of this series is a partnership with Regresando a Casa, a grassroots organization of women from Morelos, Mexico, whose family members have been forcibly disappeared. After realizing that the Mexican governments have done very little to solve this phenomena, they have created a national network of mainly women to take leadership in the process of searching for their loved ones.
