Community is culture
–
Auditorio de la Facultad de Artes UAQ
The cultural activities that arise from community ties feed back into a strengthening of these communities, creating a positive impact on their inhabitants and facilitating the work of creators and artists. At this event, we will find out about two artistic community projects from two countries, which can help to create a route map for initiatives that have such positive effects on our communities. With Reinaldo Mijares from 100% San Agustín (Venezuela) and Israel Nieves from La Otra Banda (Mexico).
The UNAM publishing house has recently published a compilation of letters by writer Rosario Castellanos, Cartas a Ricardo, a collection of her correspondence with Ricardo Guerra, who was her partner for several years. With Rosa Beltrán, Sara Uribe and Socorro Venegas.

Art and public space

Museo de la Ciudad (espacio escénico)
What happens when an intervention is made in a public space by an artist or an architect? How can interventions make use of and improve communal spaces for the enjoyment of citizens? We talk to three artists and architects whose work tends in this direction, and to whom we will talk about matters such as public space, accessibility, aesthetics and community. With the academic and thinker Ester Bautista Botello (Mexico) the Mexican artist Abraham Cruzvillegas and Tamikuã Txihi(Brazilian artist of the Pataxó people), in conversation with Ángel Cárdenas, Manager of Urban Development, Water and Creative Economies of CAF.

On museums and colonialism

Patio de la Delegación del Centro Histórico
In 2022, Hay Festival and the British Museum teamed up to create the anthology Volver a contar: escritores de América Latina en los archivos del Museo Británico, in which a group of ten writers took up narratives about the past using the collection of Latin American objects in the museum, ones that have never been seen before. In 2023 we present the anthology Exploradores, soñadores y ladrones, in which six fiction writers look at the museum collections to bring to the surface a new collection of texts that question and reimagine predominant narratives. With Yásnaya Elena Aguilar(Mexico), Cristina Fuentes La Roche (Spain), and Josefa Sánchez Contreras (Mexico) in conversation with Felipe Restrepo Pombo.

Ekaterina Álvarez in conversation with Kenya Acosta
–
Museo de la Ciudad (Biblioteca)
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 Kenya Acosta.
