The word community detonates multiple reflections in the paper’s participants. This time, the concept was a central theme that allowed them to develop and expand on different works.
Get to know the Valedores’ creative process in preparation for Mirada Camarada, our first collective exhibition!
The weeks prior to the exhibition’s inauguration were filled with heady work for the Valedores, as well as for the editorial team, who accompanied them during the creation, edition and selection process. During a period that lasted more than 8 weeks, the Valedores worked on each of their pieces within their area of choice: photography, drawing, or text.
The first group meeting consisted of brainstorming everyone’s perception on building community (given that this was the exhibition’s main narrative axis), from the way in which each Valedor perceived their daily life to how they imagined it in symbolic terms. These ideas were all an initial prompt so that each Valedor could choose how to participate. We had many weeks filled with creativity, companionship and community!
Here are some pictures of how the process went.
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.
