Resumo:
The social distancing in the current health emergency has caused a disruptive effect on cultural spaces in all its ambits. The public policies issued by national government implemented the closure of cultural spaces, thereby interrupting the neighbourhood festivities, pilgrimages, religious commemorations and cultural events. This has made it necessary to search for communication channels through virtual platforms. The proposed research focuses on the traditional residents appropriate to rites, customs and traditions of two of Mexico’s ten world heritage cities: Queretaro and Guanajuato. This research pretends to contrast the visibility of tourist exploitation (tourisification) versus the invisibility of intangible heritage.
