One of our most beloved allied institutions, the Iztapalapa Historical Archive, completed 11 years of uninterrupted work documenting and safeguarding the memory of that territory. As part of the celebration activities, we were invited to present the Mi Valedor project on the City Hall esplanade, where local artisans and producers, as well as other social and editorial projects also participated.
The table was made up of our Director of Communication Arturo Soto, the valedor Alejandro Peña (who shared his experience in the project, specifically being a migrant refugee from Venezuela) and the teacher Beatriz Ramírez, director of the Archive. In addition, the Museum of Photography Archive, another great ally of Mi Valedor, shared with us valuable historical images of Iztapalapa that we exhibited in the Archive’s outer space and that were donated to the collection of the mayor’s office.
We thank the Historical Archive of Iztapalapa for the invitation and we congratulate them for this great work.

Mi Valedor took part in the Pride edition of the Espacio Fotográfico Bazaar, a cultural and artistic gathering held at Casa Refugio Citlaltépetl. Throughout the weekend, the team shared the space with a wide range of independent artists and visual projects, reinforcing the organization’s presence at events that celebrate diversity, foster inclusion, and strengthen community connections.
On June 23, the Mi Valedor team took part in a special guided tour at the Museum of Modern Art. As they explored the galleries, the group had the opportunity to discover one of the most significant private collections of Mexican art from the twentieth century, while sharing an enriching experience of learning and community.
Music, art, and diversity came together on June 5 during a fundraising evening in support of Manos Amigues LGBTQ+ Community Center. The event brought together artists, community organizations, and attendees in a celebration dedicated to strengthening safe spaces and supporting grassroots initiatives that promote inclusion and provide care and support sexual and gender diversity.
