15 Jul PARALLEL LANDSCAPES VISIT ONE 🗓 🗺
VISITS AROUND EL PREDREGAL
ECOLOGIC SPACE OF THE ANAHUACALLI MUSEUM
Guided by the Anahuacalli Museum team.
+ An exercise in experimental drawing by Escrituras vegetales.
To kick off the Parallel Landscapes program, the first visit will be a tour of the Ecologic Space of the Anahuacalli Museum, which is one of the treasures that the Museum houses. In this there are almost 20,000 m2 of endemic vegetation, several water wells, and a sea of volcanic stone from the eruption of the Xitle volcano. This tour helps to understand how the original architecture, projected by Diego Rivera, combines landscape with functionalist architecture and aspects of pre-Hispanic cosmogony; while the architectural expansion serves as a contemporary reinterpretation of the existing buildings and dialogues with the volcanic environment in a game with the rugged topography.
After the visit trough the Ecologic Space of the Anahuacalli Museum, Escrituras vegetales will share Nos habita un mundo vegetal que habitamos, an activity to reflect on the blurred limits of the notion of interior-exterior, and environment-contour, by which architecture has molded us. A collective drawing will be created on the windows and mirrors of the Anahuacalli workshop, taking into account the landscapes that are reflected and intertwined, playing with the borders of the environments that surround us and that shape the Museum in relation to the plant world.

Museo Anahuacalli
Projected between 1942-1957 and inaugurated in 1967, the Anahuacalli Museum is a house for pre-Hispanic art, designed by the Mexican muralist Diego Rivera. Within his search to create a “City of Arts”, he projected the Anahuacalli as a great stage for the development of various artistic expressions in an atmosphere whose architecture represented the search for the Mexican essence.
