Huellas de #132
To commemorate the 50th anniversary of 1968’s student movement, and to reflect on the many political, social, and cultural movements that have shaped Mexico and its people, UNAM organized the M68 – Ciudadanías en movimiento program. Piso 16 – Laboratorio de Iniciativas Culturales UNAM participated through its call for video and photography related to the #YoSoy132 social movement: Huellas de #132.
By the time the call ended on July the 15th, 11 entries were received: four in the video category, and seven in the photography one. The selection had two different formats: through a jury and public voting.
The members of the jury came together and unanimously selected the following proposals:

Scheduled activities
The selection was exhibited for the first time at Universidad Iberoamericana’s Centro de Exploración y Pensamiento Crítico (CeX) on December the 12th 2018. Its unveiling was announced as 132 Huellas. Encuentro de artistas y activistas. A seis años, logros y perspectivas. Its main goal was to talk about the #YoSoy132 movement 6 years after its conception. The meeting was moderated by Benjamín Arditi, and students who were members of it had an interesting participation.
For the second time, the lobby of the Unidad de Vinculación Artística (UVA) -which is a part of the Centro Cultural Universitario Tlatelolco- was exhibited from March the 20th to May the 30th 2019. For this opening, a dialogue was organized with the selected candidates and 2 guests: Valentina Nolli, who while still being a student at IBERO in 2012, organized the visits to the presidential candidates, and was a witness to the jeering aimed at Enrique Peña Nieto that originated the #YoSoy132 movement; and Carlos Cruz, who participated in said movement, and who teaches at UVA. The discussion was moderated by Eunice Hernández, coordinator of the Memorial M68 from CCU Tlatelolco.
Additionally, the three winning works: Leslie Pérez’s El Resplandor, Brigada Informativa Altavoz’s Brigada Altavoz: #YoSoy132 Línea B, and Salvador Servín’s Si nosotros no ardemos ¿quién iluminará la oscuridad? Were integrated to the digital repository of M68 – Ciudadanías en Movimiento from the Centro Cultural Universitario Tlatelolco.
