An antimonumento was installed near the Mexican Stock Exchange Building, on Paseo de la Reforma Avenue, in the Cuauhtémoc borough of Mexico City. The work included the installation of the number 65 along with the plus sign, in reference to the sixty-five miners that died during the 19 February 2006 Pasta de Conchos mine disaster in San Juan de Sabinas Municipality, Coahuila.
The anti-monument was installed by protesters at noon on 18 February 2018 – the eve of the twelfth anniversary of the disaster –, as a plea for justice for the collapse and to demand justice for the government's inaction.
The artwork was never given an official name and those who installed it referred to it simply as Antimonumento; it is known as Antimonumento +65 because of its physical characteristics, although it is also known by other names.
