Festival Sinergiarte (Desfile)

Every year the amazing group of artists who live in and around San Pancho and form the Colectivo put on a festival, Sinergiarte. Every year we have a theme and this years was Mestizaje or mixed cultures (it’s actually much deeper than that, but for the purposes of this blog I’m going with it). This year was a bit different in that we had a week of events leading up to the two day festival. I’m finally getting around to post these and I’m going to have to break it up into two posts. Today is devoted to the parade and then Monday will be some highlights from the rest of the festival.

The amount of work that goes into an event like this is insane. Especially to a group of artists and musicians who live in Mexico and love that one of the perks is not necessarily having to work every day. On top of that pretty much everyone in Mexico starts to celebrate the holidays as soon as school lets out and doesn’t stop until the 6th of January. It’s basically two full weeks of festivities all day long. Even with those obstacles in our way we still managed to pull it off.

Looking through these photos it’s so easy to see why I live here. I seriously love my life.

Lots of film in this one. Kodak Portra 400 and some crossed processed Holgas going on.
