"Persistence in Mexico, as in other parts of the world, or rather, throughout the world, today, is not a choice or a possibility: it is a condition to be able to survive, to be able to imagine a different future ... contributing substantially to critical thinking and resistance throughout the world" writes Mexican sound artist Israel Martínez. With Love and Rage, the artist crafts a tribute to the persistence of resistance via a series of powerful, intimate performances that give "a very strong sonic statement on political activism in Mexico, resonating with many forms of persistence around the world."
