**Combined Event Description:**

Join us for an immersive artistic experience this August and beyond, featuring two distinct yet interconnected initiatives that explore themes of history, migration, and contemporary art.

**Esténcil** invites participants to create vibrant artworks inspired by historical figures and the murals of the Colegio de San Ildefonso. Using a stencil technique that involves cutting shapes from cardstock, attendees will paint with pre-cut designs and sponges, replicating contemporary pieces infused with the school’s rich mural details. This hands-on activity runs on weekends from August 7 to August 31, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, with an entrance fee of $30.00 MXN and limited spots available.

Simultaneously, the exhibition **”El horizonte siempre se aleja”** delves into contemporary themes of memory and migration through various artistic showcases. It features **”Desplazamiento,”** a mural by Alberto Castro Leñero, which embodies the experiences of displaced individuals through expressive human forms and a mixed media approach. Alongside this work, exhibitions like **”Huellas de la Memoria,”** displaying over 300 pairs of shoes representing families searching for missing persons, and **”Memoria Luminosa. México Tenochtitlan,”** a stunning videomapping experience celebrating 700 years of history, weave a narrative that confronts socio-political issues. These events run from March 29 to September 28, 2025, available for viewing from 11:00 AM to 5:30 PM.

Together, these initiatives encourage deep engagement with artistic expression and the social narratives that shape our understanding of cultural identities and historical contexts. For more information on Esténcil, contact 5536020028 or email [email protected].
