The fall season at Mexic-Arte Museum officially opens on September 5, with the new exhibition, En lo más negro del verano / In the Darkest Domain of Summer, curated by Luisa Fernanda Perez and featuring twelve artists. The title and exhibition are inspired by a haunting poem written by Peruvian writer Blanca Varela and challenges the viewer to embrace broader themes of death and the cycles of life. Marking its 42nd year, Mexic-Arte Museum’s Día de los Muertos Community Ofrenda continues to offer a space for the community to share memories and offerings to honor loved ones who are no longer with us.
