The wait is finally over 💥 Pieter Henket’s Birds of Mexico City has officially arrived, and it is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship.
We are incredibly proud of the tactile details that make this edition so special: from the raw, open-spine binding and vibrant colored edges to the hand-tipped cover image. Every element, including the enclosed poster, has been executed with the highest precision.
Seeing the final result of such a manual and dedicated process is a joy.

We are now one month away from the first part of the world launch of Birds of Mexico City.
This project took a village, many people bringing their talent, generosity, and passion to make it possible. For me, a project is never only about the final images. It is about the process: creating space for young people, giving them a voice, and building platforms where their creativity and individuality can be seen.
Birds of Mexico City is a celebration of freedom of spirit. The photographs were created together with a new generation of Mexican creatives, dancers, performers and artists who express themselves with courage and beauty in a world that often asks them to conform.
Young people are going through a complicated moment. So much feels uncertain. My hope is that this book offers a little bit of joy, a reminder that there is power in imagination, community, and in simply being unapologetically yourself.
Thank you to everyone who helped bring this book into the world.
More soon.
Much love
Pieter Henket

In Mexico City, Pieter Henket and Chino Castilla created a sanctuary for creative exchange across disciplines. From this shared energy emerges Henket’s latest work, Birds of Mexico City.
Moving through these frames is Raul Zamora, bringing to life the soul of “EL GLOBERO.”
