Mexico Independence Day 2022

Today’s Doodle, hand-embroidered by Mexico City-based guest artist Maité Jiménez, celebrates Mexico’s Independence Day On this day in 1810, Mexico began a decade-long conflict that resulted in their freedom from Spain The holiday originated when revolutionary leaders gathered in the small village of Dolores, Mexico A local priest rang the church bell to summon the villagers and gave a powerful and famous speech that urged his fellow citizens to revolt against Spanish rule—now known as the Cry of Dolores Today, the President of Mexico rings that very bell and recites the same speech on a live broadcast the night before Independence Day Fireworks light the sky across the country as Mexicans prepare for the next day’s festivities On Independence day, the national military and local bands parade through the heart of Mexico City People dressed in red, white and green gather in the streets as mariachi music fills the air Embroidery is woven into the fabric of Mexican culture and the crowd proudly displays hand-embroidered dresses and flags Other popular designs include the Bell of Dolores, like the one in today’s Doodle In the evening, families and friends host dinner parties with traditional meals like pozole, a stew that’s seasoned with Chile peppers, onion and limes Happy Independence Day, Mexico!Guest Artist Q&A with Maité JiménezToday’s Doodle was illustrated by Mexico City-based guest artist Maité Jiménez Below, she shares her thoughts behind the making of this Doodle:Q What was your creative process for this Doodle artwork? (ie También quise integrar elementos que son facilmente identificables como parte de la celebración de la independencia de México La frase "Dejemos al menos flores" habla de tratar de dejar a nuestro paso belleza y celebrar llo que el mundo nos ofrece y me pareció pensar en México desde estos símblos pacíficos, femeninos y cercanos a la tierra La Campana de Dolores es el símbolo patrío que representa el llamado a la independencia, un símbolo que igualmente está relacionado con un sonido potente y hermoso y no con la guerra ni las batallas Me gusta la idea de subrayar aspectos que deignifiquen la labor de las mujeres y usar símbolos de paz y de respeto y admiración por la naturaleza Like, Share and Subscribe to Doodle Catalog
