Mexico City Cuauhtémoc District inaugurates the “Frida-skulls” exhibition

The opening ceremony took place at the Monument of the Revolution and was inaugurated by the mayor or Cuauhtémoc.

The Fridacranios exhibition, at the Monument to the Revolution, was inaugurated by the mayor of Cuauhtémoc, Sandra Cuevas. The head of the district affirmed that in Cuauhtemoc, the citizens’ resources are not misused “and much less diverted” in such a way that the cultural exhibition did not generate any expense for the government.

“All the Mexican traditions related to the last quarter of the year such as the Day of the Dead, Christmas, and New Year festivities will be reinforced in the Cuauhtémoc district because in addition to reactivating the economy, it is important to rescue our traditions”, Cuevas said.

That is why this attraction was inaugurated for the enjoyment of all those who live in Cuauhtémoc and the more than 6 million daily visitors.

Something that I learned from civil society, is to do a lot with little, so we always look for how to make exchanges, how to bring benefits to our demarcation, how to bring help to the people without spending,” Sandra Cuevas said.

As part of this boost to the economy of the Cuauhtemoc District, on October 28, a Monumental Offering of the Day of the Dead will be held on Calle de Chile number 13, in the Historic Center in the well-known Calle de las Novias.

Accompanied by the Director of Culture, Enrique Gou, the mayor also announced that on October 29 there will be a Catrina Gala Parade with hand-painted and embroidered dresses, made in La Lagunilla and La Merced, in the Art Garden located near the Monument to the Mother.
