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.
On July 14, Mi Valedor hosted a Fanzine Workshop at Museo Jumex as part of the exhibition Football and Art: The Same Emotion. During the session, participants created football-inspired fanzines to share stories, ideas, and reflections drawn from their own experiences.
In the heart of the Historic Center, a group of Mi Valedor members gathered at Fundación Herdez to share much more than recipes: life stories, culinary knowledge, and the joy of building community around the kitchen.
Circo Volador, a renowned arts and cultural center, is one of Mexico City’s most iconic spaces for underground culture. Founded in 1995 by UNAM researcher Héctor Castillo Berthier, it has become a landmark social project, widely recognized as the city’s “cathedral of metal and rock” for its concerts, workshops, and community outreach. On this occasion, its Art Gallery became the home of a very special photography exhibition: “The Other Side of the Pitch”.
