Wings of Mexico in Cairo: The Mexican Embassy in Egypt ran a competition last month looking for the most liked photo on their Facebook page taken with The Wings of Mexico, a sculpture by renowned Mexican artist Jorge Marin that has become a symbol that represents Mexico worldwide. Marin’s bronze-wing sculpture, which went on display in public places all over the world and is now in Cairo, plays on the idea that it does not only stand as a symbol of flight itself, but of union, strength, illumination and balance. “The allegorical flight of the human-sized bronze wings, as they roam through the world will seem as a window that opens into the binds that tie countries and people, together, reassured by the settlement of the wings on public spaces.” Above is the winning picture from the competition, which, along with two runners up, will be part of an awards ceremony organized by the Embassy and the Cairo Opera House’s Palace of Arts on 11 September. The Wings of Mexico sculpture will be on display at the Cairo Opera House until 30 October.
