The discovery of human remains at Rancho Izaguirre in Teuchitlán starkly exposed the scale of the disappearance crisis in Mexico, warns artist Claudia Rodríguez , who used that episode to develop the project " Voluntary Blindness " as part of the Artist in Residence program at the Museum of Arts (Musa) of the University of Guadalajara (UdeG).
