With the aim of restoring a deteriorated public space between the urban limit and the natural limit of the Papaloapan River, in the Mexican town of Tuxtepec, the architecture practice Entorno y Contexto integrates a park on the riverbank for collective use and enjoyment which in the medium term will become a local attraction The space occupied by the new facility was considered a residual space and even dangerous and contaminated through a diverse program that includes different leisure options and services recovers an area of ​​environmental and landscape value while satisfying the diverse needs of the community The project developed by Entorno y Contexto is organized around four buildings that connect the urban fabric with the park indoor and outdoor spaces that serve the needs of the community The intervention rehabilitates the pre-existing elements in poor condition and establishes new spaces where one can look out and connect with the landscape Reinterpreted with simplicity through a renewed language and scale the light roofs rest on the exposed metal structure making the new facility a recognizable and memorable landmark The structure is complemented by exposed concrete chromatically integrating the project into the regional tone Papaloapan River Linear Park by Entorno y Contexto Project description by Entorno y Contexto The Papaloapan River Linear Park is a project aimed at rehabilitating a degraded public space in the city of Tuxtepec located between the city limits and the natural border of the Papaloapan River With the aim of creating a livable environment the design strategies focused on revitalizing the city's relationship with the river through the integration of a riverside park covering 11.8 hectares of public space stretching over 4.5 km in the initial phase of the intervention This new space is intended to encourage collective use and enjoyment with the intention of going beyond the local level and becoming a regional attraction in the medium term Through an analysis of the existing facilities in relation to the socio-demographic structure the project aimed to equip the park with a diverse programme of sporting social and environmental activities to meet the needs of users with different visiting patterns and purposes This approach has revitalized the use of the space and raised environmental awareness of its conservation by creating areas that recovers the riverside of the Papaloapan River the third largest and most abundant river in Mexico thus restoring the population's relationship with this vital natural heritage “Building on and extending the historical lineage of the park we focused on the concept of spatial articulation to create a coherent structure that ensures the legibility and accessibility of the public environment Our aim was to facilitate the introduction of recreational cultural and sports facilities within the complex while promoting the restoration of areas of environmental and landscape value This has been achieved through measures such as the release of informally occupied areas reforestation and the expansion of flood and rainwater retention areas” Given Tuxtepec's historic industrial heritage steel and expansive lightweight roofs were chosen reinterpreted with simplicity through a renewed language and scale to enhance recognition and memorability It was important that these structures be easy to maintain and have a long lifespan The structures are complemented by mud brick walls and fencing The shade of red chosen for the structures harmonizes with other facilities in the Oaxaca region and is part of a regional color integration The project includes four buildings of 420 sqm each called "stilt houses," which connect the street with the park These structures provide users with a range of amenities from covered areas and waiting areas—reminiscent of bus stops—to sanitary facilities and scenic viewpoints with views of the river and nearby recreational activities the program includes three covered multi-sport courts and a skate park There are also two outdoor multi-use sports courts and universal accessibility solutions are provided along with 11,350 sqm of landscaping and reforestation there is a nursery with areas for environmental education and awareness a section of the boulevard adjacent to the park has been reclaimed as well as seating and scenic viewing areas creating an additional 8,000 sqm of recovered surface has historically been isolated due to its location between mountain ranges resulting in closer ties with the states of Puebla and Veracruz combined with its commercial and industrial focus has led to the degradation of public spaces and recreational and environmental facilities the revitalized park is

Mariano and Begai Santiago Hipólito, both in their early 30s, were frustrated with their jobs as construction workers, an occupation where on a good week they might each make about $100. They said they planned to travel to Georgia and return a few years later with enough money to better support their children. Their wives said they urged them to stay, reminding them of the tightknit evangelical community they’d leave behind. But the brothers were adamant. World & Nation Economic prospects in Central America have grown so dim that even the college-educated are attempting the perilous journey to the United States the time will go by quickly,” said Luz Estrella Cuevas Remolino On June 27, nine days after they set off, Cuevas was breastfeeding her son and watching television when she viewed a headline about a tragedy in San Antonio. Dozens of migrants had been found dead in an abandoned It was one of the deadliest human-trafficking tragedies in U.S Many were people who had lost hope for their futures in their hometowns and decided to risk a dangerous journey in search of better opportunities for themselves and their families Two of the victims were 13-year-old cousins from an indigenous community in northern Guatemala. Also dead was a young college-educated couple from Honduras who had struggled to find well-paying jobs Fatalities are common on the migrant trail. Many die trying to cross the desert, after having hired smugglers, or while climbing onto moving freight trains Advocates say that harsh border policies like Title 42, a rule invoked during the Trump administration that allows authorities to immediately expel migrants even if they say they are seeking asylum have forced migrants on increasingly perilous routes “It’s always been dangerous,” said Theresa Cardinal Brown managing director of immigration and cross-border policy at the Bipartisan Policy Center in Washington “One thing that is a clear correlation is we have seen that as it has become harder to get into the United States at the border desperate migrants will do more desperate things to get here.” The Santiago brothers grew up in an indigenous community of San Felipe Usila a poor municipality of about 12,000 people that’s a three-hour drive from Tuxtepec They were two of nine siblings and their father made his living working in agriculture tending cornfields Most residents from their community speak Chinantec and many from San Felipe Usila leave homes for the U.S or larger Mexican cities like Oaxaca or Tuxtepec The brothers had moved to Tuxtepec, also a rest stop for Central American migrants that ride on the roof of “La Bestia,” a freight train that travels up through Mexico. Tour buses frequently take residents of Tuxtepec to Ciudad Juarez, where they’ll work in assembly plants or attempt to cross the border, according to Carlos Abad, a journalist for the local media outlet El Piñero. In Tuxtepec, the brothers’ families lived in sparsely furnished homes with tin roofs and peeling paint. They each supported two children: Begai, a 16-year-old girl and 7-year-old boy; Mariano, a 3-year-old girl and a 2-year-old boy. Mariano Santiago Hipólito’s guitar hangs on the bedroom wall. (Eva Lepiz / For The Times) The brothers spent much of their time at an evangelical Christian church, where Mariano sang in the choir. They played guitar and often worked on construction projects together. Mariano told his wife, Cuevas, of his plans three days before heading out. He had been out of a job for 15 days and “was desperate,” she said. When Begai informed his wife, Maria Antonia Torres Morales, she insisted that “we were OK, even though we had little.” He said he’d be gone for three to five years. “I didn’t want him to leave,” said Torres, who also helps make ends meet by selling tamales. “I said it was a long time.” On June 18, the brothers took a bus from Tuxtepec to the state of Veracruz, according to their families. They then flew to the city of Monterrey before traveling north to the border city of Nuevo Laredo. From a hotel room, they were in touch with their wives. Mariano told Cuevas that they had tried to cross the border several times but had been caught by authorities and forced to return. The last day Cuevas heard from Mariano, he told her that they were going to give it one last shot. She later heard that he had made it and was waiting to be picked up in a trailer. When she saw the news of the tragedy on television, she immediately began to worry. “The first thing I thought was that they were going to go,” she said. In Tuxtepec, word of the two brothers spread after Abad, the journalist, wrote about their story. “There’s a sadness in the community, in all of Usila,” said Saulo Mendoza Hernández, a carpenter from San Felipe Usila who knew the brothers’ father. “Many of us leave and no one expects this for their family.” It was a shock to Mario Torres Morales, Begai’s brother-in-law, who had intended to accompany the brothers. He stayed behind because the person who was supposed to buy his motorcycle so he could fund the trip never showed up. Torres, who sells coconuts, said he had been tormented by the idea of leaving his 15- and 6-year-old children but had thought that “between the three, we’ll take care of each other.” In Mariano’s home on Friday afternoon, Cuevas sat on a bench in a bare living room and cried as she described a surprise birthday party she had recently thrown for her husband. His guitar hangs on a wall in their bedroom. Her children don’t know that their father is dead. When Cuevas’ daughter sees her crying, she assures her mom that her father will be back soon. “She’s going to be by herself,” said Maria Soledad Miron Morales, Cuevas’ niece, who has tried to gently remind Cuevas that she needs to prepare for funeral costs. “As a mother, in Mexico, that situation is very difficult.… We don’t know what will happen.” Church members and relatives pray at the home of Maria Antonia Torres Morales. (Eva Lepiz / For The Times) Both wives have turned to their faith for help. Church congregants have been joining them for prayer at their homes. In Begai’s home Friday evening, a fatigued Maria Antonia Torres Morales quietly welcomed congregants and relatives making their way through her backyard — past a crate with live pigs — and into her living room. About a dozen people stood in a circle, bowing their heads while a minister read psalms. The minister said that when Begai left, it felt as though his own arms had been cut off. “It hurts us to pass through circumstances like this,” he said. “But if he [Jesus] overcame, we’ll also overcome this.” As the room echoed with “amens,” Torres’ daughter hugged her mother from behind and stroked her hair.

Thanks to you, we remain independent." the Guelaguetza stands out for its deep roots in the Mexican state’s cultural identity The name of this celebration—which takes place every July—traces back to the Zapotec word guendalizaa which refers to the act of making a gift or offering Its origins date to the pre-Hispanic era and the ritual sacrifices made to the Mexica That event almost a century ago was the basis for what would become known around the world as the Guelaguetza de los Lunes del Cerro. “The regions of the state are represented with participants wearing symbolic and representative traditional clothes consisting of elaborate and authentic garments and other items, as those participating in the event bring their gifts and offerings to Oaxaca, the Pearl of the South,” as a member of the festival’s committee described the event. Over the years additional activities have been added to the program for Guelaguetza, including the Feria del Mezcal and multiple culinary events, but the heart and soul of the event continues to be the performances on the stage of the Auditorio Guelaguetza, where audiences gather to see the dances of the eight regions of Oaxaca: Valles Centrales, Sierra Norte, La Cañada, Tuxtepec, La Mixteca, La Costa, Sierra Sur, and Istmo de Tehuantepec. Here are the stories behind the regional outfits that can be seen every year at the Cerro del Fortín, broken down by region. Alitzel Soriano Silva, 26, danced at the Guelaguetza and describes it as “one of the best experiences” of her life. It is possible to hear the pride in her voice as she describes the details of her costume that reflect the stories of the women in her family. “Some relatives were not dancers and so did not pass on the tradition, because they never learned the dances themselves, but they still support you. The costume has many reminders of their solidarity and support.” On top of the blouse she wears a scarf that plays a key role in “the Bull” section of the dance. The woman uses it to demonstrate “her strength, character, and authority to the man courting her,” Soriano explains. The scarf is used much as a matador wields a cape to lure a bull before the climactic moment in the song, which ends with the dancers pretending to kiss. The smiles of the women who dance the Flor de Piña at the Guelaguetza, representing the region of Tuxtepec, enhance the beauty of their towns’ colorful and distinctive huipils. Irasema Martínez Díaz, 21, had the opportunity to dance at the Cerro del Fortín in 2016 and 2018, wearing a huipil made by artisans from Usila on backstrap looms. The huipil also has other symbolic references, including a plumed serpent running across the middle of the design as well as small, pointed peaks that evoke the mountains that dominate the landscapes near Tuxtepec. The Chinas Oaxaqueñas are a striking presence in the festival of the Lunes del Cerro. Guadalupe Estefanía Sumano Benítez, 21, belongs to Doña Genoveva’s delegation of Chinas Oaxaqueñas, a group that has more than 60 years of history performing the Jarabe del Valle. Sumano describes the China Oaxaqueña as “a working woman, typically found in the city’s markets, of upright character and a deep Catholic faith, who honors the Virgin or a particular saint with floral offerings and their dance.” The costume that they wear during the Guelaguetza consists of a blouse covered by a scarf, a skirt, and slippers. The skirt is made of satin in bright colors and the figures of peaks that decorate it are called grecas; each one is made from a pleated ribbon and guipure lace. A starched sash worn underneath the skirt gives it volume, and traditional underwear is worn as well. A final detail related to the faith of the Chinas Oaxaqueñas is a small charm holding a portrait. “We place it close to the heart and it may have the photo of a loved one or the image of a saint or the Virgin,” Sumano explains. She wears one with the Virgen de la Soledad, a patron of Oaxaca.  “When I put on my outfit, I feel beautiful. The braids even change how your face appears,” Simoni Baños Acevedo, 21, says as she recalls her feeling when she was practicing to perform the traditional Chilena de Pinotepa Nacional dance, which portrays the courtship between a rooster (representing a man) and a hen (the woman he is pursuing). Originally from the Oaxacan coast, the chilena is a dance with multicultural roots. The chilena is a seductive and playful dance, and the women who perform it at the Guelaguetza play the part too, dressed in colorful blouses and skirts. Baños wears a poplin blouse that her grandmother also wore when she performed the same dance in 1978. It is embroidered with chaquira beads in the shapes of roses and peacocks that symbolize the elegance of women. Ana Hernández, 30, wears her formal costume representing the Isthmus of Tehuantepec region with the typical bold strength of women from the region. Hernández is an artist and she chooses to dress in the traditional clothing of her region in daily life, as a way of preserving ancient traditions. “Our people have customs and a culture. If we lose our traditional forms of dress, we lose part of our identity and our heritage,” she says. Hernández’s clothes recall celebrations like the Velas de Tehuantepec, local festivals where the women show off opulent costumes of huipils and velvet skirts embroidered with local flowers. That is the same outfit worn during the Guelaguetza, when women from the region dance La Sandunga. The formal outfits of Tehuana women are complicated to make, requiring many hands to finish them. Hernández says that muxes draw the flowers that will later be embroidered by a craftswoman and the skirts have lace frills starched by women known as planchadoras (roughly, women who iron). They dedicate themselves exclusively to this work, a focus that is necessary because of the skills required so that the frills of a Tehuano costume appear absolutely perfect. And then there is the resplandor, a headdress unique to the women of the Tehuantepec Isthmus. It has been worn at festivals and processions since the ‘30s, when it became widely popular. It consists of starched white lace and can be worn two different ways: when it is on the top of a woman’s head, as is common at festivals and the Guelaguetza, its size is emphasized; at religious events, it is positioned so that it frames the face. Finally, the Tehuana costume is completed with a xhigagueta or jicalpestle, a container originally made from a gourd—Hernández carries one. It is decorated with floral designs painted by hand and is used to carry fruits to be handed out as gifts during processions. Or, in the case of the dancers at the Guelaguetza, to be handed out to the public after the end of their performance. “This huipil is of an extraordinary quality," says Remigio Mestas about a traditional Yalalag garment. Mestas is originally from Villa Hidalgo Yalalag, in the Sierra Norte, and he has dedicated himself to textile art for more than three decades, preserving materials, traveling all over the world to spread the work of indigenous artisans, and then, in turn, creating works that are the results of remarkable cultural fusions, using items from other communities. “The garment is a snake in the form of a woman,” Mestas explains. “And on the top of the head of the woman wearing it, there is what is called a tlacoyal, a bun of hair that looks like entwined serpents.” He explains that a number of details of these huipils are related to snakes. The shoulders, for example, imitate the shapes of snakes in relief while, on the edge of the garment, a colorful border is inspired by coral snakes. Huautla de Jiménez is famous for its mountain landscapes that have been the setting of mystical stories, some of them represented in the huipils created by Mazatec weavers. These are garments that are hugely popular in Oaxaca, especially during the Guelaguetza, when barefoot women dance the Son de Flor de Naranjo, wearing traditional outfits with pink ribbons (symbolizing the coffee grown in the region) and blue ones (referring to the sky). These huipils are windows onto the daily life of the community that creates them. Research carried out by the Oaxacan Radio and Television Corporation reveals that the ribbons carry more than one meaning for those who wear them: their horizontal and vertical lines represent the paths that lead to Huautla. They also represent the days of the week, and the huipils of adult women include nine ribbons corresponding to the months of pregnancy. The piece is embroidered on a checkered fabric with motifs based on the birds and flowers of the region, while the collar includes details that allude to the rainbow and the mist that usually covers the mountains of Huautla. Like the Yalaltecan huipil, the Mazatec garment includes a lower part that is woven in a cross-stitch quadrillé. This section of the garment also has embroidery that is related to the important figure of the muleteer. The women of Huautla de Jiménez wear their hair braided with particularly long ribbons and complement their outfits with long necklaces. In their hands they carry a jícara gourd that, during the Son de Flor dance at the Guelaguetza, holds lily petals that dancers throw to the ground to mark the rhythm of their steps. The traditional Soltec hairstyle consists of two braids that are intertwined with silk ribbons and decorated with flowers that represent the wearers’ devotion to the archangel Michael and the Immaculate Conception. “Women wear the braids straight in front, representing virtue and purity,” Huerta explains.
