Event description

Our Tenango sessions are back! The Mexican Cultural Institute (MCI) is continuing this collaborative project for Pride Month 2025. We are in the process of creating a commemorative tenango embroidery banner, 6 meters high and 20 meters long, which will be displayed on the facade of the MCI throughout June.

This project is a celebration of diversity, inclusion, and the rich cultural heritage of Tenango de Doria, a small town located in the state of Hidalgo, Mexico, known for its vibrant embroidery and textiles. We are still looking for art and culture enthusiasts in the DMV area to join us in this exciting endeavor. Your participation will help us bring this beautiful artwork to life and showcase it to the community. Whether you have experience with embroidery or are simply eager to learn, there is a place for you in this project!

Join us and help create a meaningful and impactful artwork for Pride Month 2025. Together, we can make a difference and celebrate the beauty of diversity. Our next session will be on January 18 with two different times, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm and from 12:30 pm to 2:30 pm. If you have attended before, you can come and support us, have a coffee, or simply drop off your finished tenango. The fee for this session is $35 and includes all materials.

Please note that the time of ticket purchase is not transferable, and payments for this workshop are non-refundable.

MISSION

The Mexican Cultural Institute of Washington, D.C. is committed to enriching the relationship between Mexico and the United States by sharing Mexico’s vibrant cultural past and present with the local community. Since its establishment in 1990, the Institute has succeeded in presenting diverse, ongoing cultural programs and has become a thriving artistic center in the heart of Washington. Over the past three decades, the Institute has developed cultural programming in partnership with many institutions in the nation’s capital, including the Smithsonian Institution, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the National Gallery of Art, and the Library of Congress.

A new phase at the Institute features the following focal points for development:

Mexico as a plural, diverse, and creative culture
Artistic dialogue between Mexico and the United States
Education for the arts

The Mexican Cultural Institute is a 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization that relies on private, corporate, and foundation support to fulfill its mission.

OUTREACH

We have extended invitations to students from around the Washington Metropolitan area through a restructured Outreach program. We welcome our younger audiences to the Institute to learn about the vibrancy of Mexican Culture and develop a deeper cultural awareness. Guided Tours are available, free of charge.
