In the frame of introduction of independent proposals for Clavo Movimiento, an alternative space dedicated to the interaction between art and the public, Mi Valedor has the opportunity to present like an expositor this friday 29 of april until sunday 1st of may, alongside 37 more groups.
During this day we will be present with two styles, photography and obras expositions, mainly works from our valedores, and the sell of four different editions of the magazine, volumes 26, La República de Platón, 27 #Valedoras, 31, Valedores del mundo ¡Uníos! , and our own edición especial from Mexico´s golden age.
