Conversation with José Ignacio Lanzagorta about the origin and transformation in the 60s of what we currently know as the Zona Rosa (Pink Zone) in Mexico City

The Zona Rosa of Mexico City is, above all, imaginary. In other words, on a diffuse perimeter of Colonia Juárez, a series of emotions, ideas, experiences and anxieties are projected. This cloud of meanings began to be created perhaps in the 1920s, but it was in the 60s that it became aware of its own. A group of artists, intellectuals, journalists and more reflected on what they saw, did, prophesy and sentence there. They even gave all that a name: Zona Rosa. And that imaginary managed to expand and transcend the next generations. The Zona Rosa is a space for recreation, transgressions, cosmopolitan life and nostalgia; it is a territory that feels contradictory since its baptism: “neither red, nor white, but pink, precisely pink.” In the talk we will analyze those 60s and that endearing space that was both decadent and avant-garde.
