Images of Mexico: Myths, Rites, And Arts

The Mexican Cultural Institute is pleased to present this exhibition in Washington, D.C. in collaboration with Images of Mexico and the Harvard University Mexican Association of Students featuring 40 artworks, selected through the 2025-2026 open call to universities. The works explore five themes: Indigenous Presences, Mexican Folklife, Ravenous Capitalism, Embodied Knowledge, and Humanizing Narratives.

Images of Mexico is a student and alumni-led artistic initiative born from a desire to share the rich, varied, and sometimes contradictory intricacies of everyday life in Mexico with the community. The project seeks to foster nuanced dialogue and greater mutual understanding between the peoples of Mexico and the United States by bringing forward unique perspectives.

At the heart of the initiative are stories from diverse geographies, generations, communities, and lived experiences. By placing college students at the center of the creative process, Images of Mexico encourages young artists and storytellers to explore Mexico with curiosity and contextual awareness while creating opportunities for intercultural exchange.

Admission is free
