Mexico 2024 – Photos, Danzon, etc

Another one of my regular stops is the Centro de Imagen, The Image Centre, a facility for the exhibition, instruction, preservation, diffusion of photography. There were several excellent displays, one of photos by Angeles Torrejón whose photos were also part of the Zapatista display at San Ildefonso.

Hector Garcia was another of the artists on display. He was one of the most awarded and prolific Mexican photojournalists of his time and his work appeared in many major publications in the mid twentieth century. Another happy discovery for me.

Like most of the notable museums in the city, this one is situated in a beautiful colonial building.

In the same square where the photography museum is, there is the regular Saturday Danzón session in the park where people come to dance the Danzón, a Cuban dance with European roots that is very popular in Mexico.

And who knows what kind of knockout sights you’ll see walking down the sidewalk
