Featured Events in Mexico City in February, 2025 (May Updated)

The Amazon has always sparked the imagination. As the source of numerous metaphors, its image often deviates from the reality of this vast territory, the largest tropical rainforest in the world. Amazônia documents daily life in this region, which spans nine South American countries and is home to 188 indigenous groups, 114 of whom have had no contact with the outside world. This territory is threatened by pollution, mining, mass agriculture, and other industries. Conceived by photographer Sebastião Salgado, through 230 black and white photographs, it establishes a dialogue between nature and humanity, reflecting the majesty of the forest, rivers, and mountains. Curated by Lélia Wanick Salgado, it offers a sensorial immersion, with large-format images, spaces evoking indigenous huts, and a musical work by Jean-Michel Jarre based on the sounds of the tropical rainforest.

Artist Gabriel Orozco’s latest solo exhibition, “Politécnico Nacional,” is currently on view at the Jumex Museum in Mexico City. As the artist’s first museum exhibition in Mexico City in nearly two decades, the exhibition includes approximately 300 works, including small sculptures, installations, photographs, drawings, paintings, assemblages, and games. Through the artist’s close collaboration with curator Briony Fer, the exhibition incorporates the various techniques and concepts that the artist has developed since the 1990s, including rotation, symmetry, and the representation of time, thus bringing new perspectives to his creative practice.

For thousands of years, humanity has shaped clay to create pottery, one of the earliest technological manifestations used by our ancestors in their daily lives and rituals. Many of these objects, in addition to their functionality, stand out for their beauty and for being the result of the work of specialized potters. The Ceramics: Voices of Ancient Clay exhibition brings together a select collection of ceramic objects from the cultural zone of Western Mexico, with the aim of exploring the link between the past and the present through ceramics. This exhibition highlights the importance of clay as a key source of information for understanding ancient societies, from its discovery in excavations to its restoration and museum display.
