Visiting a century-old café that still stands in the historic center of Mexico City and continues to welcome customers, as well as a typical Mexican apartment, photographer Chiara Bonetti captures the spirit of young Mexicans with her camera.
In cities like Mexico City, Guadalajara, and Monterrey, there is often a palpable sense of optimism and progress - startups, the creative industries, technology, and social media play a major role.
Younger generations are strongly connected to international trends - TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube shape fashion, music, and political debates. At the same time, as almost everywhere in the world, there is a growing interest in their own indigenous, regional, and national identity.
The spirit of many young Mexicans is a blend of joie de vivre, a strong sense of community, cultural pride, and a growing awareness of economic and social challenges, which they meet with an equally growing self-confidence: ¡Viva México!
