Last May 12, the iconic Museo Soumaya in Mexico City hosted the presentation of the book Super Shi_1: Super Heroínas Innovadoras Mexicanas, a project created and presented by Carlos Glatt that celebrates the stories of extraordinary women shaping the future of Mexico.
The event brought together leaders from the worlds of culture, entrepreneurship, science, and the arts in a gathering dedicated to recognizing female innovation and leadership. Among the women featured in the book is Karla de Lara, internationally recognized for her distinctive hyperrealistic pop art and for her role in expanding the global visibility of contemporary Mexican art.
Super Shi_1 highlights the stories and trajectories of 100 Mexican women from diverse fields, presenting them as modern-day heroines whose work is transforming industries and inspiring new generations.
“I feel deeply honored to be part of this book, which brings together women who, like so many others, are transforming the world through our passions and our work.”

First AI-assisted edition
A particularly groundbreaking element of this first edition is the use of artificial intelligence in the development of the book’s content. For the first time in the project’s history, Carlos Glatt collaborated with AI tools to help build and articulate the narratives that document the journeys of these remarkable women. This innovative approach allowed the project to compile and shape a wide range of stories into a unified narrative celebrating female innovation in Mexico.
Beyond recognition, the project carries a deeper purpose: to inspire the girls of today to dream boldly and pursue their aspirations, showing them real examples of women who have dared to innovate, lead, and redefine what is possible.
For Karla de Lara, being part of this collective tribute is both an honor and a reminder of the responsibility that artists carry as cultural voices.
Through art, creativity, and vision, these women demonstrate that inspiration has many forms, and that the future is being shaped by those brave enough to imagine it.
