El Zocalo

community-wide latinx initiative

Inspired by the traditional meeting places found all over Latin America, including Mexico City’s central square that dates back to the Aztecs, metaphoric El Zócalos are establishing all over Houston. Community partners MECA, Talento Bilingue, and Baker Ripley join forces with the Alley Theatre to realize a shared vision to provide a platform for sharing Houston’s rich Latinx heritage.
