Derivas de Arte y Arquitectura with Erik Carranza

As part of the Derivas de Arte y Arquitectura program, Arte Abierto presents the talk Las células que ya no explotan: en búsqueda de un busto ausente (el de JFK) y su relación con el GoSk8Day (21 de junio) en la colonia Jardín Balbuena, led by Erik Carranza.

On this edition, we will journey from the architectural project of Mario Pani—“the man of hundreds of millions,” according to Diego Rivera—at the Nonoalco Tlatelolco Urban Complex, to the John F. Kennedy Housing Unit in the Jardín Balbuena neighborhood, including its sports facilities (acknowledging the path of the Pentapichichi—Hugo Sánchez Márquez), designed by architects Félix Sánchez, Raúl Izquierdo, A. Sánchez Tagle, Juan Becerra, and Manuel Bernal, under the direction of the National Urban Mortgage and Public Works Bank (BNHUOP).

We will also explore the musical and athletic appropriation carried out by the communities that led to this neighborhood being recognized as the starting point for skateboarding in Mexico City—an occasion to celebrate Go Skateboarding Day this June 21.
