Starting the second week of February, Mi Valedor organized a vaccination day in which our collaborators provide medical support, the influenza vaccine, and tests for HIV and syphilis detection. On the other hand, those who attended got glucose tests and blood pressure measurements.
The second day of the Health Fair was held in the neighborhood known as “La Conchita”, a spot in the Historic downtown where the Chapel of the Concepción Cuepopan is located, which dates from the 18th century and was named after the native neighborhood of Santa María Cuepopán.
The relation with this particular space refers to the end of the 19th century, this place was called “de Los Muertos” chapel, its construction was used as a morgue for those who did not have money for their burial. In other words, homeless people. It currently represents a historical monument around which this day was gathered in order to facilitate access to health for what is still one of the most vulnerable populations in the City.
With the support of the UNAM Faculty of Medicine and the Condesa Clinic, as well as the ChektNow medical laboratory, the fair continued for a second day.
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”.
