Antimonumento 49 ABC
The Antimonumento 49 ABC is an antimonumento (anti-monument) installed opposite the Mexican Social Security Institute Headquarters, on Paseo de la Reforma Avenue, in the Cuauhtémoc borough of Mexico City. Demonstrators erected it on 5 June 2017 during the eighth anniversary protest related to the 2009 Hermosillo daycare center fire in Hermosillo, Sonora, where forty-nine children died. The colorful metallic work included the installation of the number 49 and the ABC initials. It was never given an official name and those who installed it referred to it simply as Antimonumento; it is known as Antimonumento 49 ABC because of its physical characteristics, although it is also known by other names. Two years later, sculptures shaped like children's shoes were installed at the base, but were later stolen. In 2024, a replica monument was installed in Hermosillo.
