RESISTANCE: CULTURAL AND POLITICAL NARRATIVES IN MEXICAN ART
The exhibition features works by contemporary Mexican artists whose practices primarily engage questions of freedom of expression, history, and social justice and serve as public channels of dissent. Through sculpture, installation, performance-based documentation, textiles, and printmaking, the exhibition considers how artists reflect on Indigenous knowledge, collective memory, and contemporary social contexts.
THE HOMECOMING
Composed exclusively of works from private collections on the South Coast, The Homecoming highlights exceptional pieces that have remained largely unseen by the public. Featuring artists such as Käthe Kollwitz and Mary Cassatt, the exhibition brings together significant works that are locally owned and internationally recognized, yet seldom displayed.
