As one of the first modern neighborhoods in Mexico City, considered so because of the grid plan of its streets, the colonia San Rafael was created in 1891. Since then the diversity of the trades, professions and social sectors that have coexisted in its streets have granted a unique liveliness to the lattice of its daily life. It is a special urban point of reference that will witness, before the architectural modifications and urban flux of the 21st century, the disappearance of its faces, constructions and lifestyles, ceding the way to new and different ones.

In this sense, Memory/06470 aims to show a photographic memory of the daily life of the colonia San Rafael based on photographs of a collection of images taken by its residents during the 20th century. The objective is to generate of a space to stimulate community relations, as well as to reflect on the new methodologies used to create collections and to highlight the function of these strategies in strengthening the cultural heritage of a community.
