Art Walk

Mexico City's Art Walk aims to stir passion for art in residents.

Art lovers have organized Art Walk, an event designed to bring the arts to Mexico City's streets this weekend.

"Bringing the arts into the streets is the No. 1 goal" of the festival, which is taking place in Mexico City's Roma district, Art Walk director Adan Villareal told Efe.

Art Walk events were a huge success in Los Angeles, New York and Hong Kong, and the idea is to "create a new awakening among pedestrians," Villareal said.

The festival was created with the idea of offering both art lovers and people who just happen to be out in the streets a look at a variety of works.

“Hace mucho que el mundo puso en duda los valores, las creencias y las verdades que en otros tiempos sostuviera. Ahora más que nunca, en la historia humana, necesitamos preguntarnos –todos nosotros, santos, pecadores, mendigos, legisladores, militares– adónde vamos. ¿Podemos detenernos? ¿Podemos, de algún modo, hacer frente? ¿O ya es muy tarde?”

“Es muy alto el precio que debe pagarse por las comodidades aparentes y los adelantos que ofrece el mundo occidental. Dicho precio es la muerte, pero no en pequeña escala, sino al mayoreo…”

"The world has long questioned the values​​, beliefs and truths that once hold. Now more than ever, in human history, we need to ask-all, saints, sinners, beggars, legislators, military-where we're going. Can we stop? Can we somehow cope? Or it's too late? "

"It's a very high price to be paid by the apparent comforts and advances offered by the Western world. This price is death, but not on a small scale, but wholesale."

Henry Miller.

Evening Clouds

(iPhone Lens+Snapseed App)

At the entrance, my bare feet on the dirt floor, Here, gusts of heat; at my back, white clouds. I stare and stare. It seems I was called for this: To glorify things just because they are.

The Temple of the Sacred Family, one of the major symbols of the Roma district, started being built in 1910 by the architect Manuel Gorozpe and the engineer Miguel Rebolledo, and was sponsored by the Jesuit congregation. After a period of inactivity, the Parrish was inaugurated on November 19 1925, date in which its tower and clock were given their blessing.

This temple reflects several styles fashionable in the early 20th Century, among which we can find elements of the neo-Romanesque, neo-Gothic and eclectic styles that manage to come together harmoniously in this place.

One of the most outstanding aspects of this temple are its beautiful stained glass windows, which were made by the Italian company Talleri, and in which we can observe representations of different Bible passages and the mysteries of the Christian faith. [mexicocity-guide.com]
