Playa del Carmen, Quintana Roo — The president of the Citizen Council for Science, Culture and Arts of Playa del Carmen said the local cultural community is in the dark about the progress of the city museum project and called for dialogue with experts, artists and local historians.
Daniela Jáuregui said the project, assigned by the municipal government to the Municipal Institute of Culture and Arts of Playa del Carmen (Imcap), has not been shared with the artistic and cultural community.
She urged officials to socialize the project and open roundtables with local experts, artists, historians and cultural promoters to build a more complete, representative and functional museum for the public.
“It is important that participation be opened to the cultural and academic community of Playa del Carmen so that the museum truly reflects the identity and history of the city,” Jáuregui said.
She said Imcap should give greater attention and priority to the project given the historical and social significance a museum dedicated to the development and transformation of Playa del Carmen would have.
Having such a space would strengthen local identity, especially in a city marked by rapid growth and a constant influx of new residents, she added.
Jáuregui stressed that recovering the historical and cultural memory of Playa del Carmen is essential to preserve the community’s roots and foster a sense of belonging among younger generations.
Municipal authorities have not publicly reported concrete progress, dates or details of the city museum project.
