Happy Independence Day, Mexico!
The present Doodle, outlined by Mexico-based guest artist Magdiel Herrerra, portrays an assortment of components representing Mexico’s rich, cultural heritage in honor its Independence Day.
The current year’s holiday holds unique importance for the international Mexican community as it remembers the 200th anniversary of the country’s progression toward independence—formally announced on September 27, 1821.
On the left of the Doodle artwork, a folklórico (folkloric) artist is wearing the significant red, green, and white of the Mexican flag. A typical meal prepared to praise this holiday is pozole, a flavored soup generally made with hominy and pork that is portrayed in the red bowl with radishes and lime.
In the middle, the craftsmanship reproduces a ringer that rang before El Grito de la Independencia (The Cry for Independence), a popular discourse thought about the sparkle of the Mexican independence movement. A sombrero follows with a handwoven rebozo scarf, close to a desert flora standing tall.
On the most distant right of the work of art, an Indigenous musician (known as a quiquizoani in the Uto-Aztecan language of Nahuatl) blows into a conch shell—a scene similar to an image found in the antiquated Aztec Codex Magliabechi—filling the air with the sounds of celebration.
