Gina Jaramillo is an art historian, General Manager of Radio Chilango, has worked as a children’s activist through the Colectivo Niñeces Presentes initiative, and now brings her talents to children’s literature. In her new book El guardián de los quesos she tells us the story of Tigre, a cat that visits various homes in the neighbourhood, which inspires Bibi and Mon to explore the different ways of seeing and forming a family. Jaramillo highlights the importance of love, empathy and respect, and she uses inclusive language to reflect the evolution of communication and family structures and relationships in today’s society.

Biblioteca Juan de Dios Bátiz Paredes. Delegación Josefa Vergara
What do you have to do to win an Olympic medal or play at a football World Cup? In her book Súper deportistas mexicanos, Frida Martínez portrays 24 high-achieving Mexican sportspeople. Her book reveals the hard work, discipline and dedication of her chosen protagonists, who train in karate, gymnastics, athletics, baseball and more, until they reach the top of their sport. In conversation with Kenya Acosta, Frida Martínez tells us these stories, which show how high we can fly as long as we have imagination, consistency and effort.
The radio is a medium whose importance cannot be overemphasised. From its beginnings, it has worked to communicate, inform and entertain. Today we have other media that serve similar functions, but it is of interest to know more about the radio, to understand what it can do, what it can contribute. At this event, Tere Alcántara will talk about the radio, sharing with the children curious anecdotes and information. Work will be done on breathing, diction and intention and, to finish, teams will create a radio programme, in which participants can present their work, as if they were broadcasting a real radio programme.

Poems for otakus
–
LEO A.C.
Divided into five sections, with an opening and an ending in the anime tradition, the poems of Paola Llamas Dinero explore the sensations that occur when fiction forms an essential part of our lives. Through language based on words, images and signs, characteristic of the street, television and Internet, the author examines our relationship with the world of fiction through anime, manga and the social media. She will ask how imaginary worlds determine many of our feelings and identities. She also wonders, if we are constantly relating to characters who do not exist, watching a series or scrolling through stories on Instagram, whether we can really form links with other people. In conversation with Yudi Martínez.

Ekaterina Álvarez was born in Moscow and lives in Prague. She is the publisher and author of her first children’s book, ¿Dónde está Arte?. In this entertaining work, the writer takes us on a trip through some of Mexico City’s main museums (from the Anthropological Museum, to the University Museum of Contemporary Art, via Chapultepec Castle and the Museum of Modern Art) in search of the Treasure of the Bones, together with little Otta and her dog Artemio. However, in the blink of an eye, Arte gets lost, and we go together with Otta to find him. In conversation with Elisa Guerra.

Centro Cultural Comunitario Carrillo Puerto
Dinero y escritura is a very personal book of fiction by the award-winning author Olivia Teroba (Mexico), which looks at matters related to the profession of writing and the conditions that make it possible in hyper-capitalist societies. In this series of texts, written in the first person, Teroba shares the ins and outs of her fragile relationship with writing, and with the world itself, framed by family and bodily demands that she expresses in a style that is both lucid and intimate. In conversation with Margarita Aguilar Urbán.
Frida Cartas(Mexico), from Mazatlán, describes herself as a housewife and part-time writer. A former presenter at the Instituto Mexicano de la Radio with the programme Altersexual (a sexual anthropology programme) on Radio Ciudadana, she contributes to digital media outlets and gives workshops on sexual and reproductive rights for young people, with a class and gender perspective. She is also the author of the extraordinary novel Transporte a la infancia, which, using honest, colloquial language, recalls the scenes from her childhood in which she discovered and affirmed her identity, creating an essential testimony for the recognition of trans childhoods, bringing to light the urgency of guaranteeing respect, protection and freedom for trans children. In conversation with Imanol Martínez.
