Welcome to CIUDADMERCED.MX, final window of the project under same name, based in the old Merced Barrio, located in the heart of Mexico City. The project consisted of a workshop program with the community, a research notebook book, may 2012, a cinematographic documentary film, april 2013 and this hypertext.

Use the arrows (left and right) to navigate through the photographs and explore the 13 videos distributed among them. The experience is contemplated to last around 25 minutes.

Ciudad Merced (Merced City) was an artistic and community project held between december 2011 and december 2013. It consisted of art and culture workshops, artistic interventions, a book, a film and a web site. In a way, it is an exploration of the territory through the evolution of narrative (textual-audiovisual-hypertextual) and the relation that this evolution holds with urban space.

The project was developed by menuma / narrativa a la deriva, in collaboration with La Casa del Cine MX and with support from Latattore Foundation and Bonus CWMX.
