2010 is a very significant year for Mexican history. First, Mexicans will celebrate 200 years of independence from Spain on Sept. 16. Later, on Nov. 20, a century of the Mexican Revolution will pass. To celebrate here in San Diego.
The Mexican Consulate will present a cultural program with art exhibits, artistic presentations, festivals, a symposium, and much more. Mexican Consul Remedios Gomez said that with the collaboration of San Diego museums and Tijuana’s Cultural Center, activities are planned for the entire year.
“In fact our first activity has just begun at the Museum of Photographic Arts with the projection of a Mexican classic film ‘Que Viva Mexico,’” she said. Gomez said that with these activities the Consulate wants to celebrate and share a space for reflection of the 200 years of relations between Mexico and San Diego County.
She also said that at the time that Mexico fought for its independence, the California region was part of the New Spain territory. “This is also a celebration for all the families that live here and an opportunity to learn and admire the Mexican art,” she said.
