Greetings from Chicagoacán documents the visual, architectural and aesthetic codes of neighborhoods in which Mexican immigrants have established in Chicago.

The installation depicts buildings which have been intervened by their users as a way of place-making within the (segregated) city: façades of traditional Midwestern buildings that have been loaded with ornament that takes inspiration from vernacular architecture of those places that are longed for and that were once left behind. These architectural interventions function as a tangible expression of presence and identity of this community, in a country where it has historically been othered and marginalized.

This project has been shown in CDMX at the exhibition Creación en Movimiento at the FotoMuseo Cuatro Caminos, in 2019
and at the SESC Av. Paulista for the Travessias exhibition at the 13ª Bienal de Arquitetura de São Paulo in 2022
