'Soy de Azteca' is a photographic project by Zaickz Moz that seeks to rethink expressions of community and identity in the periphery of Mexico City, a region that is increasingly diffuse and spilling beyond its geographical boundaries. The project aims to reframe how community and identity are expressed by the residents of Ciudad Azteca (State of Mexico) within private, public, and urban spaces. Through a photographic series, the work addresses themes such as the appropriation and modification of living spaces, urban development, and the sense of community in the Ciudad Azteca neighborhood.
The unique characteristics of a community provide its inhabitants with a sense of identity and belonging. Does this hold true for every inhabited place? Observing that the history of Ciudad Azteca is inextricably linked to Mexico City, one must ask whether distinct identity traits have emerged among the inhabitants of Ciudad Azteca. As in other areas of the capital's periphery, this cluster of neighborhoods in the municipality of Ecatepec demonstrates the capacity of locals to build and transform space into a variety of urban habitat forms.
