In a year of major elections around the world, Mexico’s on 2 June is among the most important. Its 128 million people will be choosing 500 deputies, 128 senators, and a new president to serve a six-year term, a post for which Claudia Sheinbaum and Xóchitl Gálvez are competing. After Andrés Manuel López Obrador’s administration, a country hardly associated with feminism may well have a woman at its helm for the first time ever, mandated to tackle the great economic and security challenges of a dynamic nation beset by violence, where some areas have been described with the term ‘femicide.’ But Mexico also takes pride in one of the most iconic artists of the 20th century, Frida Kahlo, and in having on the front line of its contemporary construction a group of women architects trained in the Ibero-American University (UIA) of Mexico City who currently have a significant presence in the United States. One is Tatiana Bilbao, whose international career we covered in 2021 in AV Proyectos 104, including her then recently completed Cortés Sea Research Center. Another is Fernanda Canales, whose academic outreach through books that explore her historical and urban interests, regularly reviewed in Arquitectura Viva, is complemented with a professional practice that issue 264 of the same magazine looks at. A third is Frida Escobedo, author of the Serpentine Gallery’s 2018 summer pavilion, and winner in 2022 of the bid for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s new wing. Mexico’s future is female.
