Every educational project can operate as a tool at the service of the State to entrench its ideological contours. Educating is Redeeming addresses the mechanics of pedagogy in Mexico during the first decades of the 20th century, establishing, in turn, a reflection on its impact on public space and on the visual monumentality of the muralist movement.

Its title refers to the motto that appears on a sculptural group located in front of the Revolution School Center in the nation's capital, the first Mexican public school built for the joint education of boys and girls.

Miguel Benjumea draws our attention to the space that once housed the Belén prison and which today continues to operate as a school and a symbol of revolutionary ideals. Inside the center, the mural "Attack on Rural Schoolteachers" (1936) by the artist Aurora Reyes—considered the first female muralist in Mexico—illustrates a scene of violence perpetrated against female teachers. To achieve this, the image of the original sketch was recovered and fragmented into 150 photocopies, which comprise the artist's book and allow the mural to be reproduced and displayed at a 1:1 scale.

The book can only be read through its assembly, by means of the reproducibility of the photocopy, as can be seen in the video projected inside the exhibition space, where the artist creates a spatial display on a wall facing the beaches of the city of Cádiz. A portable piece that invites the deconstruction of a plastic strategy that acts as an ideological instrument and questions the homogenizing logic of any educational system.
