The eighth edition of the Festival of Otomi Language, Art and Culture (FLACO) will be held from February 21 to March 4, with the Manuel Gómez Morín Cultural Center, the Faculty of Philosophy of the UAQ and the Museum of the Conspirators as its headquarters.

At a press conference, Roberto Aurelio Núñez López, president of the organizing committee of the festival, said that there will be more than 100 exhibitors, 30 conferences and 8 exhibitions of painting and photography.

He reiterated that this festival was created by the Autonomous University of Querétaro (UAQ) to spread the importance of mexico’s indigenous communities and above all to raise awareness about mother tongues that are in danger of extinction.

The FLACO has transcended internationally and has had the presence of guests from other countries. In this edition the guest country will be Bolivia and the guest state, Puebla.

This festival takes place within the framework of the International Mother Language Day, which is celebrated every year on February 21, promulgated by UNESCO in 1999.
