Overview

• The nightly videomapping traced seven centuries of Mexico City’s history on the façades of the Palacio Nacional and Catedral Metropolitana, featuring immersive projections and original sound design.
• Following a July 15 protest by the Archdiocese over abortion and LGBT rights imagery, the Secretariat of Culture removed those references from the Cathedral façade on July 16.
• The free show ran from July 11 to 27 with 34 performances and concluded with a finale of over 3,500 dancers led by City Hall officials.
• Five monumental replicas—Coatlicue, Coyolxauhqui, the Teocalli de la Guerra Sagrada, the Piedra del Sol and Tlaltecuhtli—were crafted by Taller de Arte Xibalbá artists and installed on the Zócalo.
• The city will launch the photo exhibit “Tenochtitlan” by Pablo Ortiz Monasterio at the Gandhi gallery on July 29 as part of ongoing 700th-anniversary events.
