Photograph of a library bookshelf. The books, with their call numbers for ordering. On the shelves, two compositions from the exhibition "Recognizing Diversity" can be seen, with black and white photographs by Paula Verde of two children's torsos, and brief texts by Ignacio Calderón. The first image shows the bare torso of a boy lying face up, holding flowers on his chest. It reads "The time of life". In the other, another naked child is curled up, seen in profile, with his head on his knees. It reads "Absurd injustices".
