Mexican Renaissance

The Mexican Renaissance was a vibrant cultural movement during the early 20th century, roughly from the 1910s to 1930s, that celebrated Mexico's indigenous roots and national identity. It involved artists, writers, and thinkers who sought to express Mexico’s history, traditions, and modernity through innovative art, literature, and muralism. This movement aimed to foster pride and unity after the Mexican Revolution, blending folk elements with contemporary techniques. Notable figures include Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo. Overall, it revitalized Mexican culture and helped shape its modern national identity.
