STREET ART  Street art in Mexico always represents something of Mexican culture, in the image can be seen represented an Alebrije. This ones was created in 1936 by a cardboard man named Pedro Linares López, at 30 years of age. His inspiration came after getting sick and falling into a deep sleep, where he saw these creatures for the first time. During his illness, it is said that Pedro dreamed of a forest full of trees, rocks and animals, being very peaceful. Suddenly, those elements began to transform into strange creatures, like donkeys with wings, roosters with bull horns, lions with dog heads, and so on. And all those fantastic animals shouted a word in unison and every time stronger: alebrijes. If you want to read more about this story click here.

Artistic interventions of the Mexican student movement. ‘Leverage’ is an inquiry into the work of Artistas Aliados, the artistic branch of the #YoSoy132 student movement that burst out in Mexico on May 11th, 2012. Excluded from the usual circuits of aesthetic and economic value production, the work of Artistas Aliados provides an opportunity to explore contemporary geopolitics of value from a position of relative exteriority. The author departs from the thesis that neoliberalism has appropriated the formal dimension of our imaginations as a result of its global hegemony over economics and mass media. Neoliberalism's colonization of form mobilizes unconscious affective content to the advantage of capital, which Artistas Aliados strive to leverage to their own advantage.

Culturas en movimiento: migración y difusión-dilución de las creencias en México Este artículo académico habla sobre las culturas seculares que también evolucionan a escala local, a veces de manera rápida; esta perspectiva a menudo es olvidada porque se ha privilegiado la atención a las influencias transnacionales. Ése es el caso de dos fundamentos culturales de América Latina: la pertenencia indígena heredada de los pueblos amerindios, y la religión católica, que si bien desde la Conquista adquirió un monopolio casi absoluto, desde los años sesenta ha disminuido su influencia frente a las iglesias evangelistas. La dinámica de estos rasgos culturales, por difusión o dilución, tiene un componente que interesa al demógrafo: la migración de las personas. Referencia: Daniel Delaunay. (2011).

Reflecting on Basic Art Education in Aguascalientes, Mexico. Implications for Higher Education The basic art education in Aguascalientes, Mexico, faces a significant number of challenges that must be overcome and problems that must be addressed. Among other challenges, the public education system must train a high number of teachers who lack professional qualifications. The system also has to promote the training of its whole teaching staff and satisfy the demand for sufficient pedagogical materials. Thus, the author proposes that higher education must actively get involved with basic education by implementing remedial programs for unqualified teachers. It also must propose continuous education programs to foster a better preparation of the teaching staff and develop research projects that generate knowledge to promote more comprehensive and better-quality art education. The contributions made to the improvement of art education will impact on more sensitive, creative and harmonio...

This theoretical article attempts to set out a range of notions and perspectives regarding the sigificance of culture and NTICs. It aims to broaden the scope and work of museums, allowing them to be an integral part of the tourist destination, as well as increasing the importance of cultural tourism in any given destination or territory. It is put forward that cultural difussion and diversification strengthens identity and contributes to social cohesion, which when well conceived, is capable of bringing about the joining of forces over objectives of mutual benefit for a particular place. We refer to the diverse nature of culturalexperience as a great social and economic opportunity for tourism. All of the above is alalysed from a socio-hermeneutic perspective, with a focus on virtual communication and interaction. [ABSTRA...

Arte y cultura masónica en el México barroco / Art and Masonic culture in the Baroque Mexico Fernández, Martha Despite its importance, Freemasonry in the art of the Baroque Mexico is absent in historiography, though there are enough elements to believe that despite all the obstacles faced, developments in art and society can be linked to Masonic culture since the end of the seventeenth century and early eighteenth century. Masonic concepts such as the Great architect of the universe, the representation of the Saints crowned, the presence of iconographic symbols such as the square, compass and Plumb, as well as the portrait of a novohispano architect as a master mason, lead us to explore that possibility. All of this considered within a social and artistic context must take into account the trade crisis and the existence of a titled Brotherhood of our Lady of joys and Santos architects.

Dance and the Arts in Mexico, 1920-1950 : The Cosmic Generation Dance and the Arts in Mexico, 1920–1950 tells the story of the arts explosion that launched at the end of the Mexican revolution, when composers, choreographers, and muralists had produced state-sponsored works in wide public spaces.
