El arte Mexicano/Latino sin folclor no es lo suficientemente genuino? Hablemos de la autoexotización en la que nosotros mismos nos metimos, del fetiche estético de nuestros colonizadores. 👀🌮

El mercado de la nostalgia Mexicana: Cuando el concepto de fondo sigue dependiendo del mismo cliché folclórico de siempre. 🌹🇲🇽 Nuestra labor como creativos es ser la barrera que exige excelencia visual contemporánea.

🚨👩🏻‍🎨 DISCLAIMER DE INDUSTRIA: Para los que van a saltar en los comentarios diciendo “es que eso es cultura chicana”: sí, entiendo perfectamente el origen, la resistencia y el valor del movimiento chicano en EE. UU.

Mi crítica no es hacia la comunidad ni hacia su búsqueda de identidad; mi crítica es hacia el diseño cosmético y corporativo. Es hacia los intermediarios y las marcas transnacionales que toman esa estética de nicho, la esterilizan, le quitan el contexto social y la meten en una sudadera de $300 dólares para vendértela como “tendencia exótica” de aparador. Hay una línea muy delgada entre la identidad viva de la diáspora y el fetiche comercial de un corporativo que solo busca cubrir su cuota étnica del mes.

🌹🌹🌹

Shout out a las personas y marcas que salen en esta edición: Las imágenes de este post se usan como material de referencia bajo fines puramente educativos y de análisis de diseño. Los aprecio a todxs un chingo la neta. by @holalou

Some of my favorite artworks from the recently finished large-scale series of paintings and murals for @bainandcompany in Polanco, Mexico City. It was a challenge to develop so many art pieces for these 2 floors of office spaces, but I’m very happy with how it all came together. 🏙️🖇️

Huge thanks to the team at Bain & Co and @turner_and_townsend for trusting my vision for these walls.

And to my incredible team including Leo, Kari, Vic and Jack who always have my back, and for making this project come to life. 🫂 taken in Mexico City, Mexico by @holalou

🎨Hola Lou
@holalou
📍 Deportivo Azcapotzalco Mexico City
🎥 @brandonreese24

As part of the NBA Mexico City Game 2025, local artist Hola Lou @holalou teamed up with @jds.sports , @detroitpistons , @dallasmavs , @nba , @nbamex , @thenbpa and @project_backboard to renovate a community basketball court in Mexico City. This project highlights the power of basketball to foster inclusion, youth development, and civic pride, while leaving a meaningful legacy in Mexico City.

The NBA Mexico City Game 2025 is a sports milestone and cornerstone of the league and teams’ long-term commitment to local communities across Latin America.

In addition to the renovations this project included a Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA Clinic on the newly refurbished community court. The ceremony and clinic featured NBA talent, league and team executives, and local government officials, along with 80 youth from two local nonprofit organizations (Teletón and Alcaldía Azcapotzalco), underscoring the importance of cross-sector collaboration to drive lasting social change.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the court renovation possible, and everyone who came out to celebrate at the unveiling event.
