Overview
- The Arcoíris Global installation was lit Friday and will project a multicolored beam along the corridor between the Monumento a la Revolución and the Zócalo for ten days.
- The work was created by U.S. visual artist Yvette Mattern and is part of an itinerant project shown in more than 30 countries that returned to Mexico City after a 2025 presentation.
- Mayor Clara Brugada framed the light intervention as a message of respect, tolerance and recognition of sexual diversity and human rights.
- City agencies say more than a year of coordination with LGBTQ+ collectives has gone into logistics and security planning to link the installation with preparations for the 48th Pride March.
- Officials present the display as both a cultural-tourism gesture timed with the FIFA Fan Festival and a visible effort to boost safety and visibility for Pride-related activities during World Cup visitor crowds.
