This Sunday, May 8, World Red Cross Day was commemorated through the delivery of humanitarian aid to street populations. This date has always been remembered through volunteer activity and support to vulnerable people.
Some thirty volunteers from both the Red Cross and other civil society organizations went to the “Plaza de la Concepción” last week to give food and basic hygiene items. Among the participants were the groups “Psicocalle Colectivo”, a community proposal that studies the complexities of life on the street, and “Proyecto Cantera”, an association that promotes the integral development of vulnerable children through sports activities, specifically soccer.
The “Plaza de la Concepción”, located in the Historic Center, is an important choice, as it is known as a site of concentration of street populations due to its past as a chapel dedicated to the bodies of people without housing or money to pay for their burial. More than a century later, it is a site that has been reappropriated by the current street populations.
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”.
