Venustiano Carranza Promotes Female Urban Art; Over 200 Artists Intervene Walls of the General Archive of the Nation

In a vibrant display of female empowerment and artistic expression, the Venustiano Carranza mayor's office has championed urban art by women through its "Juntas Hacemos Más" (Together We Do More) festival. This initiative, now in its fifth edition, has provided a significant platform for women artists to showcase their talent and voice their perspectives on public spaces, notably transforming the walls of the historic General Archive of the Nation.

Mayor Evelyn Parra views urban art as a potent catalyst for social change, a sentiment powerfully reflected in the festival's activities. Over three days, the event saw women artists from Mexico and internationally, including Brazil, Colombia, the United States, Argentina, and France, leave their mark. The participation of French artist Lucce highlighted the global reach and impact of this burgeoning movement.

The festival's scope extended beyond visual arts, incorporating a First Encounter of Tattoo Artists and performances by 30 hip-hop artists from various Mexican states like Chiapas, Querétaro, and Puebla. This multidisciplinary approach created a dynamic environment where art transcended borders, fostering connections between different cultures, generations, and communities.

By dedicating over 500 linear meters of wall space at the General Archive of the Nation, the festival not only beautified a significant public landmark but also turned it into a vibrant community hub. This initiative underscores Venustiano Carranza's commitment to supporting women's talent and creating safer, more engaging urban environments, demonstrating how art can profoundly transform and empower.

In Venustiano Carranza, under the leadership of Mayor Evelyn Parra, the talent of women does not stop and has real support; therefore, these types of initiatives continue to be strengthened with concrete actions such as the installation of new lighting that will turn the area into a Safe Path, guaranteeing better illuminated and walkable spaces for the community, reaffirming that art not only beautifies, but transforms, empowers and leaves a mark.
