State of Mexico youth photography contest

Overview

Alejandra Figueroa Adame, a deputy for the Youth and Sports Legislative Commission of the State of Mexico, promoted the ‘Raíces mexiquenses’ photography contest. Organized in coordination with the International Youth Politics (PJI) organization, the initiative sought to provide young people with artistic spaces to express regional identity.

During the awards ceremony at the Institute of Legislative Studies (Inesle), Figueroa Adame emphasized that photography serves to preserve memory, inform, generate political critique, and transmit emotions. The contest encouraged participants to capture themes including urban and rural landscapes, factory workers, historical architecture, and natural landmarks such as the Xinantécatl volcano. Emiliano Ibarra Montes, the state president of PJI, noted that youth from indigenous communities are utilizing such platforms to preserve their traditions and roots.
