在展板区，除了介绍墨西哥的历史、城市、节日和艺术家外，李不染还专门写了自己的感悟，让我们看到她对社会的深入观察，以及深刻的人文关怀。展板上有很多墨西哥人日常生活的照片，李不染介绍说，这都是她日常拍摄的，在墨西哥，除了异国风情，她感受最多的，是来自陌生人的温暖。

中心展台区的展品包括墨西哥传统乐器——沙锤，墨西哥布娃娃——LELE，墨西哥玩具——皮纳塔，墨西哥特色运动——摔角，当然，最引入瞩目的，是一个精心布置的小型亡灵节祭坛，满铺的万寿菊、手绘骷髅头，骷髅新娘，亡灵猫，仿佛回到了《寻梦环游记》的现场。  

李不染深深了解，文化的密码往往藏在最日常的滋味里，因此在美食区设置了“可乐盲品”环节，打造了一场有趣的感官实验。当玉米片的脆响与特调酱料的滋味在口中交融，文化体验从视觉的观摩，落味于真实的知觉。

谈到举办展览的初衷，李不染表示，对墨西哥的向往始于七年前一个陌生的西班牙语音节，经过四年的学习让远方的轮廓愈发清晰。十年级暑假，她选择踏入墨西哥的暑校，将一个月的时光过成了一场深度的沉浸式文化体验。归国时，她心中已暗自决定要在星校举办一场关于墨西哥的展览，将异域生活的特殊质感呈现给大家。

这场展览，早已超越知识传递的范畴。它是一个同学凭借热情与勇气，将个人旅程转化为公共文化事件的实践；是一次从“我”走向“我们”、从好奇走向理解的微小而重要的努力。李不染用她的行动向我们揭示：世界的广阔，不仅在于我们去远方追寻，更在于我们将远方带回，并以分享的姿态，在熟悉的土地上筑起一座座通往多元世界的桥。  

At the start of 2026, stepping into the fourth-floor atrium instantly transported visitors across continents. The exhibition “Journey to Mexico,” curated by Grade 11 student Li Buran (Kaia), captivated the entire school community with its vibrant celebration of Mexican culture.  

Kaia shared that her fascination with Mexico began seven years ago—with a single, unfamiliar Spanish syllable in seventh grade. Since then, she has dedicated four years to studying the language, and the contours of this distant land have grown ever clearer in her imagination. In the summer after tenth grade, she courageously chose Mexico as the destination for her summer program. For one full month, she immersed herself completely: attending university courses, honing her spoken Spanish at a language center, exploring cities on weekends, visiting museums, savoring local cuisine—and living, quite literally, as a “Mexican.”

Even before returning home, Kaia had already resolved to bring Mexico to SSBS. She wanted her peers to experience cultural diversity firsthand and see a Mexico beyond stereotypes—authentic, warm, and deeply human.

The exhibition was thoughtfully divided into four sections: an informative panel display, a showcase of authentic Mexican artifacts, a curated book corner, and the most popular spot—the Mexican food tasting station.

The panels went beyond introductions to Mexico’s history, cities, festivals, and artists. They also featured Kaia’s personal reflections, revealing her keen social observations and profound humanistic concern. Many photographs captured everyday moments of Mexican life. “Each of these images holds a story,” Kaia explained. “Beyond the exotic scenery, what moved me most was the warmth of strangers.”

At the central display table, students gathered around traditional Mexican items: maracas (shakers), colorful “LELE” dolls, piñatas, and even memorabilia from lucha libre (Mexican wrestling). Most striking of all was a meticulously crafted miniature Día de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) altar—adorned with marigolds, hand-painted skulls, a skeletal bride, and a “spirit cat”—evoking the magical world of Coco.  

To deepen the cultural immersion, Kaia turned to food—believing that “the codes of culture are often hidden in everyday flavors.” She set up a fun sensory experiment: comparing Coca-Cola bottled in Mexico with its domestic counterpart, inviting classmates to taste the difference. Many left the booth not only delighted by the crunch of tortilla chips paired with zesty salsa but also inspired to add a new item to their snack wishlists.  

This small-scale exhibition offered a remarkable journey to Mexico without ever leaving campus. More importantly, it reminded us that true understanding begins with curiosity and grows through shared experience. As the atrium transformed into a window across oceans, we were invited to look beyond borders—not just to observe, but to connect.

Indeed, this exhibition transcended mere knowledge-sharing. It was one student’s passionate act of turning a personal journey into a public cultural event—a modest yet meaningful effort to move from “I” to “we,” from wonder to empathy. In a world that often feels fragmented, such acts of sharing become bridges to a richer, more inclusive future.
