Hay Festival Querétaro 2022 – Science

Hay Festival Constellations creates a space for intergenerational dialogue within the Mexican cultural scene, in fields such as literature, film, music, science and architecture. At this event the astronomers Julieta Fierro and Leticia Carigi will talk to Paula Rosas about the pleasures of looking at the cosmos with curiosity and without fear: this is an event where a love of science is shared by guests of different generations.

Become a cosmic explorer with Braulio Guerra Mendoza in this astronomical adventure. We discover far-off galaxies, brightly-coloured nebulae and clouds of stars that shine like jewels in the sky. Weather permitting, we will look at the sun, safely, using a phone screen and a telescope that everyone will be able to use. To finish, we will send the universe a symbolic message with our very own cosmic ray. An experience for looking at the sky, but also leaving something there.

The UNAM’s Museum of Science has created Universum, a space for children to learn about science through curiosity and play. Gina Jaramillo and Patricia Vázquez del Mercado will discuss the museum’s new proposal, a pioneer in Mexico due to its accessible and inclusive approach, and because of the cooperation between the public and private sectors involved. In conversation with Bárbara Arredondo.
