About this project
A map of the territory where he grew up
De Calle En Calle is a cultural archive and narrative cartography project: 56 legends across 16 states of Mexico, spanning pre-Hispanic, colonial, 19th-century, and living-tradition eras.
Tlalmanalco — the municipality where Rafael grew up — appears on the map itself, within the Ruta de los Volcanes, with legends such as La Cascada de los Lamentos, Los Novios del Convento, and La Puerta del Infiernillo. The archive does not only reach into distant territories: it also charts the streets and hills that shaped his own imagination.
