Abstract
This is a review of two exhibition proposals on Tlatelolco, Mexico, developed for the 500 years of the fall of the last bastion of Tenochtitlan during the Spanish conquest: Xaltilolli. Espacio de Artes, Memorias y Resistencias, at the Centro Cultural Universitario Tlatelolco (CCUT), and Bienal Tlatelolca, at the Central de Maquetas. The text presents the contents and objectives of both and reflects on their particularities. It problematizes the concept of original peoples and discusses artistic production as a tool for analysis and linkage to a territory.
