Tepito is located in the center of Mexico City. For several years Tepito has begun a process of transformation due to the large number of informal shops or "Tangis". There we had the opportunity to meet Luis the shoemaker. He was born in Tepito and has been fighting for the last few years against gentrification processes that are taking place in the sector. Luis remembers how the urban structure of the "Vecindades" has been lost. These Vecindades allowed social ties and coexistence among the inhabitants of the sector. Luis created Casa Barrio Tepito an organization that has promoted different cultural and artistic activities with the inhabitants of the sector in order to protect their identity. Here are some photos.
