The Combat Antisemitism Movement’s “No Discriminarás” (“Thou Shall Not Discriminate”) traveling art exhibit was installed this week at the Argentine Israelite Mutual Association (AMIA) headquarters in Buenos Aires.
The “No Discriminarás” exhibit — created by Argentine artist Adrián Franco, known as “Pati” — features a set of sketched vignettes portraying different manifestations of contemporary Jew-hatred, ranging from negative stereotyping of Jews to Holocaust denial, based on the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA) Working Definition of Antisemitism‘s 11 examples.

Originally conceived by CAM en Español in collaboration with AMIA’s director of art and production, the exhibit has been put on display over the past three years in Santiago, Chile, Montevideo, Uruguay, Quito, Ecuador, and Panama City, Panama, among other locations, reaching diverse audiences across Latin America.

“The objective of the exhibit is to raise public awareness about the importance of fighting against different expressions of hate and discrimination,” CAM Director of Hispanic Affairs Shay Salamon said. “At CAM, we seek to continue denouncing antisemitism, and educating and inspiring more people to build bridges in the midst of differences.”

An official opening ceremony for the exhibit will be held in March, coinciding with commemorations of the 34th anniversary of the Iran-backed bombing of the Israeli Embassy in Buenos Aires in 1992. Two years later, the AMIA headquarters itself was also targeted by terrorists linked to the Tehran regime, and the new building where the exhibit is now housed stands as a symbol of resilience and renewal for Argentina’s Jewish community, the largest in Latin America.

CAM’s outreach in Latin America began nearly five years ago, and since then it has worked diligently to build meaningful partnerships and friendships with influential leaders, legislators, diplomats, community organizations, and civil society activists from a diverse assortment of religious, political and cultural backgrounds in the region to combat antisemitism together.
During this time, CAM en Español has emerged as a key player in the battle against Jew-hatred in Latin America, with a growing coalition involved in impactful activities in countries including Uruguay, Brazil, Argentina, Peru, Colombia, Panama, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Mexico, Ecuador, and Bolivia, among others.
CAM en Español has organized regional summits in Brazil in 2025, Costa Rica in 2024, Uruguay in 2023, Panama in 2022, and Guatemala in 2021, and the plan is for the Dominican Republic to be next in line in 2026.
